Abstract

Embodiments of techniques and systems for dead-zone-location detection in wireless systems are described. In embodiments, a wireless device may be configured to receive radio signals and provide indicators that convey signal strength of received radio signals. The received radio signals are considered degraded when signal strength of the received radio signals is below a threshold level. The wireless device may also be configured to determine which dead zone the wireless device is currently located, in response to a determination that receipt of radio signals is degraded. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
