Abstract

This paper presents the study of video streaming over wireless channel based on experimental measurements in the presence of fading caused by the physical environmental. The emulation of video streaming file through wireless channel is measured using IxChariot software from Ixia. The obtained emulation of signal quality from the video streaming file was measured in terms of network throughput, RSSI and packet loss. The results show the credibility of wireless network for streaming video file in agricultural area. The statistical results show that there is significant negative effect of physical environmental condition on wireless video streaming and received video quality.
