Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is a recently developed energy-efficient short-range\r\nwireless communication protocol. In this paper, we discuss and compare the maximum\r\npeer-to-peer throughput, the minimum frame turnaround time, and the energy consumption\r\nfor three protocols, namely BLE, IEEE 802.15.4 and SimpliciTI. The specifics and the\r\nmain contributions are the results both of the theoretical analysis and of the empirical\r\nmeasurements, which were executed using the commercially available hardware\r\ntransceivers and software stacks. The presented results reveal the protocols� capabilities\r\nand enable one to estimate the feasibility of using these technologies for particular\r\napplications. Based on the presented results, we draw conclusions regarding the feasibility\r\nand the most suitable application scenarios of the BLE technology.
