Add a worker scheduled periodicaly to calculate the busy time average of
the current channel.

This will be used in the estimation for expected throughput.

I really don't think you should/can do this - having a 1-second periodic
timer (for each interface even!) is going to be really bad for power
consumption.

Please find a way to inline the recalculation with statistics updates
and/or queries.

Ok, noted !
I will try to find a way or maybe remove this part, since the busy
time is not trivial to be used in the estimation, as I thought.
Thanks for your reply.
