Morphology
The noun phrase's meaning is directly derivable from its parts: 'communication' (exchanging information) + 'channel' (a medium or route) yields a medium for conveying information. This is a regular noun+noun compositional pattern that exists across many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
The phrase communication channel comes from the simple idea of a channel as a path that carries water or goods. Imagine messages flowing along that path, and you get a communication channel, 'a method to send information' between people or devices.
