A Mathematical Theory Of Communication

An information source which produces a message

A transmitter which operates on the message to create a Signal which can be sent through a channel

A channel, which is the medium over which the signal, carrying the information that composes the message, is sent

A receiver, which transforms the signal back into the message intended for delivery

A destination, which can be a person or a machine, for whom or which the message is intended

It also developed the concepts of Information Entropy and Redundancy .
