Explanation
★The maximum information a channel can carry in a time reflects channel capacity, so that is the answer.
★Channel capacity is the highest reliable rate of information transfer over a channel.
★It is a key idea in information theory.
★It sets the upper limit on how much can be sent without error.
★Information overload is having more information than one can process, a different idea.
★Transmission barriers block communication, and the communication process is the overall act, not this maximum rate.
