The interference factors for adjacent 2.4 GHz channels were summed together without doing any kind of weighted average on them. This resulted in the channels at the band edges getting undue preference due to only including interference factors from three channels vs. five for the channels in the middle of the band. While it is somewhat unclear whether the design here was supposed to count overlapping channels together in this way or whether that is already covered in channel survey results, it is clear that this summing of three to five values together and then comparing the sum rather than average of some kind gives too much preference to the channels at the edges of the band by assuming that there is no interference whatsoever outside the band. Use weighted average of the interference factors rather than a sum from different number of values. For now, the adjacent 2.4 GHz channels get weight of 0.85 (1.0 for the main channel itself) and the neighboring channels to those adjacent ones get 0.55 weight. Band-edge channels are handled in a way that takes average over the channels that were actually considered instead of assuming zero interference from neighboring bands.

wpa_supplicant and hostapd -------------------------- Copyright (c) 2002-2015, Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> and contributors All Rights Reserved. These programs are licensed under the BSD license (the one with advertisement clause removed). If you are submitting changes to the project, please see CONTRIBUTIONS file for more instructions. This package may include either wpa_supplicant, hostapd, or both. See README file respective subdirectories (wpa_supplicant/README or hostapd/README) for more details. Source code files were moved around in v0.6.x releases and compared to earlier releases, the programs are now built by first going to a subdirectory (wpa_supplicant or hostapd) and creating build configuration (.config) and running 'make' there (for Linux/BSD/cygwin builds).
