In this chapter, we briefly review the basic facts of the classical information communication processes. The fundamental aspects of information theory according to Shannon (Bell Syst. Tech. J. 27:379–423, 623–656, 1948) are composed of the following concepts: message; entropy describing the amount of information; communication channel, mutual entropy, coding, and capacity of the channel. We will discuss some coding theorems which are important results of the classical information theory.
