If a noisy communication channel introduces significant entropy during data transmission, which consequence follows?

💡 Explanation

Increased entropy in a communication channel implies higher uncertainty in the received signal; therefore, more robust error correction coding is required to reliably recover the original data, rather than improving data compression because entropy is now measuring the noise itself.
