I am not quite sure but will try to answer your question and will be glad if anyone can correct me if I am not. I believe the benefit of DSSS is in the fact that higher bandwidth can be used and therefore larger number of channels can be occupied by the mote, but the structure of DSSS and the use of PN noise prevents the interference on the same channel and hence motes can share the same channel with no problem,
