Our study investigates the performance of the WUSB standards and compares it to the Wimedia Standard. To the best of our knowledge, no technical contributions exist in the open literature at present simulating WUSB and its performance. The study showed that WUSB can achieve better throughput when bursting is enabled at the maximum burst size and it provides more accurate timing control of device activity than using the standard facilities of the WiMedia MAC. Our study also addresses protocol extensions and improvement to the original WUSB standard to support better Quality of Service (QoS). First improvement enables a di erent reservation mechanism along with contention based access to support higher priority security and medical system monitoring applications. Second improvement enables the host device to use an adaptive packet loss technique to change the packet size dynamically during the data transmission to achieve packet loss less than 10%. Third improvement enables redundancy in the cluster by adding a backup host to prevent mobility failures and changes. This backup host is chosen by a prede ned cost weighting function.
