The paper is all about dead zone identification in a campus-wide IEEE 802.11g network by measurement of signal strength. IEEE standard 802.11 is a technology for wireless local area networking. In most of the campus-wide networks, there exist some dead zones. Dead zones are the places where there is no network coverage. As a result, the devices or personnel, when enter in these zones will be out of coverage of the network and some of the important and critical information may be lost. In this paper, we have made an attempt to identify these dead zones and proposed a solution to minimize the dead zones. Extensive measurements of signal strength by using Wireless Network analyzer android app have been conducted at various locations in the campus and plotted the dead zones on the Google map of the campus. A solution has been proposed to minimize the dead zones Based on the experimental results and the current location of the access point in the campus.
