Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), also known as Blue-tooth Smart, is part of the Bluetooth 4.0 Core specifications, introduced in June 2010 by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG). BLE is designed as a radio standard that minimizes power consumption and it is particularly suited for low cost, low bandwidth, low power, and low complexity applications. These aspects of the standard represent the reasons of its success in the field of biometric monitoring sensors. The aim of this paper is to present a performance evaluation of a Body Area Network System based on Bluetooth Smart. The evaluation is performed on a real test-bed, composed of off-the-shelf BLE devices. The BLE devices are equipped with software tools developed specifically for this work.

Abstract
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), also known as Blue-tooth Smart, is part of the Bluetooth 4.0 Core specifications, introduced in June 2010 by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG).

These aspects of the standard represent the reasons of its success in the field of biometric monitoring sensors. The aim of this paper is to present a performance evaluation of a Body Area Network System based on Bluetooth Smart. The evaluation is performed on a real test-bed, composed of off-the-shelf BLE devices.
