Abstract

The classical transmission problem deals with the question how many possible messages can we transmit over a noisy channel? Transmission means there is an answer to the question “What is the actual message?” In the identification problem we deal with the question how many possible messages the receiver of a noisy channel can identify? Identification means there is an answer to the question “Is the actual message u?” Here u can be any member of the set of possible messages.
