It depends on which kind of jamming you are experiencing: intermittent
or continuous, wideband or narrowband? An obvious technique is to change
the modulation type: switch from b to g or vise versa and/or change the
tx rate (this changes the modulation technique under 11b - although rate
control will tend to react against deliberate jamming as it does to a
high SNR). These modulation schemes respond differently in the presence
of different kinds of jammers. There are published papers which describe
the strengths and weaknesses of OFDM versus DSSS and FHSS when jammed by
different kinds of signal.
Each station needs to figure out for itself that the network is under
attack and use your channel agility approach under control of some
function. Be warned that changing channels on ath5k hardware is quite a
slow operation (taking about 25ms or so). Might be best to leave
frequency agility to the PHY layer.
Please note this is an ath5k developers mailing list and you should keep
your posts on-topic. General questions such as yours belong on other lists.
