In this paper we propose a Spatial Reuse MAC (SRM) protocol based on the IEEE 802.11 which employs a combination of power control and a fully distributed scheme of transmission sneaking to achieve energy efficiency and spatial re-use in wireless ad hoc networks without using a separate control channel. Through extensive performance evaluation, we show that SRM considerably improves the total amount of bytes delivered per unit of energy as compared to existing solutions. Reference to this paper
