  Well, the transport layer will use WiMedia Alliance UltraWideband
spec, which is pretty much *exactly* what Wireless USB is.

  Wireless USB just sends USB packets over the radio, no real
application layer beyond what the typical USB bus has, which is pretty
rudimentary.  USB just says 'Train coming in, this car for stop #5!".
:-D
