Abstract
In this paper, a novel WUSB (Wireless USB) over WBAN (Wireless Body Area Networks) MAC protocol is proposed to improve efficiency of sensing the personal information. Furthermore, a localization technique based on that protocol is also proposed for indoor localization in a ship. For this purpose, the proposed localization algorithm minimizes power consumption and estimates location with accuracy. It is executed independently at each sensor node on the basis of WUSB over WBAN protocol. And it minimizes power consumption by estimating locations of sensor nodes without GPS (Global Positioning Systems).
