Returning to Shannon's Original Meaning

Abstract

Shannon theory is revisited to show that ergodicity is an indispensable element of channel capacity. The generalized channel capacity C=XI(X; Y) is checked with a negative conclusion and the popular assertion "the capacity of a slow fading channel is zero in strict Shannon sense" is found to be conceptually wrong.
