Shannon Navigation

Shannon navigation refers to the method of data transmission used in telecommunications, based on Claude Shannon’s information theory. It involves efficiently encoding and transmitting information over a channel, such as a fiber optic or wireless link, while minimizing errors and maximizing capacity. This process ensures that the maximum amount of information can be sent accurately within the limits of the channel’s bandwidth. Essentially, Shannon navigation helps optimize data flow, allowing high-speed, reliable communication by balancing the amount of data transmitted with the channel’s technical capabilities.
