In this paper we provide a method to analytically compute the energy saving provided by the use of Transmission
Power Control (TPC) at the MAC layer in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). We consider a classical TPC mechanism: data packets are transmitted with the minimum required power to achieve a given packet error probability, whereas the additional MAC control packets are transmitted with the nominal (maximum)
power. This scheme has been chosen because it does not modify the network topology, since control packet transmission range does not change. This property also allow us to compute ana...
