We compute the entropy of a multiset information source by constructing an equientropic string source (with interdependent symbols), and we compare this with a string information source with independent symbols. We then study the encoder and channel part of the system, obtaining some results about multiset encoding length and channel capacity.application/pdfenghttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObjectinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttps://idus.us.es/xmlui/handle/11441/38506
