While studying information theory we do not consider any directionality of the channel.

There will be no change if Reciever and the Transmitter are interchanged (i.e. Lorentz Reciprocity is obeyed).

However, suppose if the channel is a non-reciprocal device like a isolator or a Faraday rotator, rather than a simple transmission cable. What are the consequences on the Information theory?

What would be consequences on Shannon Entropy and several theorems like Shannon-Coding theorem, Shannon-Hartley theorem etc. I have been googling with several terms like Non-reciprocal networks etc, but I have not been able to find anything. Any help will be appreciated.
