In this paper, an IEEE 802.15.6 wireless body area networks (WBAN) medium access control protocol is developed to support a wireless USB (WUSB) application as a protocol adaptation layer (PAL). To successfully set up wireless communication links, the WUSB channel should be encapsulated privately within a WBAN superframe. However, in the current IEEE 802.15.6 WBAN standard there is no available periods allocated for other heterogeneous networks. In this paper, we propose a WBAN Beacon Structure (WBS) of IEEE 802.15.6 WBAN to set up WUSB channel efficiently. Simulation results show that the WBS integrates WUSB transactions and WBAN traffic efficiently in a hierarchical WUSB/WBAN medium access control (MAC) protocol.
