The problem is that you disturb everyone else. And that is against the idea of a mesh. At the end you start a race who sends "louder" and then at some point all stations "scream" at each other. This results in high noise for everybody but no bandwidth.

Think: many small mesh nodes which whisper. Much more effective re-use of shared spectrum.
