Channel Capacity

+**Channel Capacity**

+Channel capacity is the theoretical maximum rate at which information can be reliably transmitted over a [Communication Channel](/wiki/Communication_Channel). It quantifies the fundamental limit of data transfer, even in the presence of [Noise](/wiki/Noise), often measured in bits per second. This core concept, central to information theory, defines how much data a link can truly carry.
