 * @brief
 *   This module includes functions for channel monitoring feature.
 *
 *   The functions in this module are available when channel monitor feature
 *   (`OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_CHANNEL_MONITOR_ENABLE`) is enabled.
 *
 *   Channel monitoring will periodically monitor all channels to help determine the cleaner channels (channels
 *   with less interference).
 *
 *   When channel monitoring is active, a zero-duration Energy Scan is performed, collecting a single RSSI sample on
 *   every channel per sample interval. The RSSI samples are compared with a pre-specified RSSI threshold. As an
 *   indicator of channel quality, the channel monitoring module maintains and provides the average rate/percentage of
 *   RSSI samples that are above the threshold within (approximately) a specified sample window (referred to as channel
 *   occupancy).
 *
