Specifically, it is necessary to consider a more scalable physical layer due to the high-speed mobility of vehicles and the complex channel environment. Adaptive transmission has been adapted in channel-dependent scheduling. However, it has been neglected with regards to the physical topology changes in the vehicle network. In this paper, we propose a physical topology-triggered adaptive transmission scheme which adjusts the data rate between vehicles according to the number of connectable vehicles nearby. Also, we investigate the performance of the proposed method using computer simulations and compare it with the conventional methods. The numerical results show that the proposed method can provide more continuous and reliable data transmission for V2V communications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s18030755","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,2]],"date-time":"2018-03-02T11:53:40Z","timestamp":1519991620000},"page":"755","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Adjacent Vehicle Number-Triggered Adaptive Transmission for V2V Communications"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Yiqiao","family":"Wei","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Electronics and Electrical Engineering, Dongguk University-Seoul, Seoul 04620, Korea"}]},{"given":"Jingjun","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Electronics and Electrical Engineering, Dongguk University-Seoul, Seoul 04620, Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7629-7865","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seung-Hoon","family":"Hwang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Electronics and Electrical Engineering, Dongguk University-Seoul, Seoul 04620, Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"380","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jnca.2013.02.036","article-title":"A comprehensive survey on vehicular ad hoc network","volume":"37","author":"Zedan","year":"2014","journal-title":"J.
