Shannon's coding theorem for a noisy channel1 indicates that information can be transmitted as reliably as desired in the presence of noise, provided the transmitted rate does not exceed the channel capacity. In unidirectional systems the reliability may be improved by increasing the code length or the redundancy of the message.
