Summary: A dynamical model for quantum channels is introduced which allows one to pass continuously from the memoryless case to the case in which memory effects are present. The quantum and classical communication rates of the model are defined and explicit expression is provided in some limiting case. In this context, we introduce noise attenuation strategies where part of the signals are sacrificed to modify the channel environment. The case of qubit channel with phase damping noise is analysed in detail.
