Abstract
In the present paper, we propose a method for controlling the interval of safety message transmissions in a fully distributed manner that maximizes the number of successful transmissions to vehicles located a set target distance away. In the proposed method, each vehicle estimates the density of vehicles in its vicinity, and, based on the estimated vehicle density, each vehicle calculates an optimal message transmission interval in order to maximize the number of successful message transmissions to vehicles located a set target distance away. The optimal message transmission interval can be analytically obtained as a simple expression when it is assumed that the vehicles are positioned according to a two-dimensional Poisson point process, which is appropriate for downtown scenarios. In addition, we propose two different methods for a vehicle by which to estimate the density of other vehicles in its vicinity. The first method is based on the measured channel busy ratio, and the second method relies on counting the number of distinct IDs of vehicles in the vicinity. We validate the effectiveness of the proposed methods using several simulations.

Appendix: Derivation of \(\mathcal {L}_{I_S}(s)\)
Appendix: Derivation of \(\mathcal {L}_{I_S}(s)\)
The Laplace transform of \(I_S\) is given as
Observe that a set of nodes that transmit at the 0th transmission period \(\{X_i: U_i=1\}\) is a homogeneous Poisson point process with intensity \(E[U_i]\lambda =\rho \lambda \), where \(\lambda \) is the intensity of the original homogeneous Poisson point process \(\{X_i\}\). This observation yields the following expression of \(\mathcal {L}_{I_S}(s)\)
where \(\Psi {\mathop {=}\limits ^\textrm{def}}\{\tilde{X}_i\}\) is a stationary Poisson point process with intensity \(\rho \lambda \). To further calculate \(\mathcal {L}_{I_S}(s)\), we introduce the following definition and the theoremFootnote 1:
Definition 1
(Definition 2.1.1 in Baccelli and Blaszczyszyn [4]) A marked point process is said to be independently marked if, given the location of the points \(\Psi {\mathop {=}\limits ^\textrm{def}}\{X_i\}\), the marks are mutually random vectors and if the conditional distribution of the mark \(M_i\) of the ith point depends only on its location \(X_i\), i.e., \(P(M_i\le m| \Psi )= P(M_i\le m| X_i)\).
Theorem 1
(Corollary 2.1.2 in Baccelli and Blaszczyszyn [4]) For an independently marked Poisson point process \(\{(X_i, M_i)\}\) with intensity measure \(\Lambda \) and marks with distribution \(F_{M,x}(m)=P(M_i\le m|X_i=x)\), we have
\(\{(\tilde{X}_i, S_i)\}\) is a stationary marked Poisson point process where the distribution of \(S_i\) does not depend on the location of the ith point. Denoting the distribution of \(S_i\) by \(F_S\), from Corollary 2.1.2 in Baccelli and Blaszczyszyn [4], we have the following:
where \(\mathcal {L}_{S}(s)\) denotes the Laplace transform of \(F_S(x)\). In the case of Rayleigh fading, \(F_S(x)\) is the exponential distribution with average S, and thus, we have
Substituting (A2) into Eq. A1 and using the following result:
