According to information theory, the channel capacity is the maximumaverage information that can be sent per channel use. Mutual information is the function ofprobability distribution of transmitted signal. By changing the probability distribution oftransmitted signal, we receive different I(X; Y).A maximum mutual information achieved for a given transition probability matrix (a fixed 𝐶 𝑥 = max 𝑝 𝑥 𝐼(𝑋; 𝑌)channel characteristics) is the channel capacity.The mutual information I(X; Y) is the relative entropy between the joint distribution and the
