Special emphasis was given to the implementation of full-duplex (FD) cooperative communication protocols to avoid communication disruption in the absence of a line-of-sight (LOS) channel. Importantly, we found that the cooperative FD V2V-VLC is promising for avoiding communication disruptions for cars traveling in realistic curvilinear roadways. Results in this work can be easily extended to the case of vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), which can also be promising in cases of low-car-density environments.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20133734","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,6]],"date-time":"2020-07-06T09:49:11Z","timestamp":1594028951000},"page":"3734","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Cooperative Full-Duplex V2V-VLC in Rectilinear and Curved Roadway Scenarios"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1073-1283","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diego J.","family":"Cuba-Z\u00fa\u00f1iga","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute of Telecommunications (Inatel), Santa Rita do Sapuca\u00ed, MG 37540-000, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5238-1795","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Samuel B.","family":"Mafra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute of Telecommunications (Inatel), Santa Rita do Sapuca\u00ed, MG 37540-000, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1742-9957","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"J.
