PART – B (5*13 = 65)

11(a) (i) Explain about Shannon - Hartley Law (7)

(ii) Explain about Source Coding theorem (6)

(OR)

(b) A DMS has following alphabet with probability of occurrence as shown below

symbol S0 S1 S2 S3 S4 S5 S6
Probability 0.125 0.0625 0.25 0.0615 0.125 0.125 0.25

Generate the Huffman code with minimum code variance. Determine the code Variance and
Code efficiency. Comment on code efficiency

(ii) A DMS have five symbols S0,S1,S2,S3,S4 characterized by Probability Distribution as

0.4,0.2,0.1,0.2 and 0.1 respectively. Evaluate the distinct Variable length Huffman Codes for the
source to illustrate non uniqueness of Huffman technique. Calculate code efficiency and the
variance of the ensemble as defined by

σ2 = ∑ PK (nKL)2

Where Pk and nk are Probability and length of Codeword respectively for symbol SK and L is
average length. Conclude on result.
