kindly help

USB specification says "From Host to Peripheral the shield should be connected from connector to cable in 360 fashion". Shield to GND connection is left to the designer.
Best way is to contact your manufacturer or use manufacturer recommended things.. NXP used Ferrite beads to connect shiled to GND in Host systems (i. e on Connector A side). RC filter on Peripheral side (USB-B connector side).

References are IAR_LPC1768_Eval_Board_Schematic (Host side)" , "Keil_LPC1768_Eval_Board_Schematic(Peripheral side)"....

Personally i prefer any guidelines from Cypress, Freescale, Intel.....
