Enhancing the Delivery and Reception of Information Objects Over Deprived Channels and Computational Devices (Postprint)

摘要

A brief history of mathematical information and communication theory is presented with examples to illustrate the communications aspects of transmitting and receiving information over a channel. We wish to extend these concepts and modify the messages or information objects themselves and yet maintain the meaning of the messages. Our approach is to reduce the quality of the original messages without severely degrading a message's intent before compressing the resultant messages for transmission over a communications channel. Our motivation is to enhance and improve the efficiency in the delivery and reception of information objects from computational devices with limited bandwidth and processing capability.
