Features: This book focuses on introducing the fundamental theories of information theory, as well as coding theory and implementation principles, which have evolved from Shannon theory. The entire book emphasizes concepts, employs accessible language, and connects with current practical communication systems. It explains basic concepts, theories, and implementation principles through numerous examples and illustrations, minimizing complex proofs of formulas and theorems. At the end of each chapter, there are numerous exercises to aid in deeper understanding. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students in information engineering, communication engineering, and related fields at universities of science and technology, as well as a reference book for professionals in information, communication, and electronic engineering. This book focuses on introducing the fundamental theories of information theory, as well as coding theory and implementation principles, which have evolved from Shannon theory. The entire book is divided into 7 chapters, introducing the basics of information measurement before focusing on the theoretical knowledge and implementation principles of lossless source coding, lossy source coding, channel coding, and cryptography.
