I have the transition matrices of two communication channels. I am able to find the capacity of each by performing an optimization calculation, however I need the total capacity of the two channels. The channels are not weakly symmetric so I don't think I am able to simply add the two capacities. I think what I need to do is perform the optimization calculation over the combined channels but I'm not sure how to do this. I think I need to construct a transition probability matrix but I'm not sure how to go about this. If anyone can give some advice on this I'd be grateful.
Thanks
