indeed, thats a hard question. my first hint is looking at cisco 
(http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/technology/mesh/7.0/design/guide/MeshAP_70.pdf 
-> page 169), but 80211s has't a RAP so maybe there are only some tips 
for a workflow.

i think there are diffrent possibilities:

1. the MAP that has a radar detection go sleep and wait till the channel 
is clear to come back -> mesh will down :/
2. the mesh has to negotiate a new free channel via bacon-frames, maybe 
generating preventively a list of  channel for switching?
3. some other ideas ?

is there someone at work for a DFS implementation?
