This paper introduces the comparative performance analysis between ETSI SmartBAN and Bluetooth low energy (BLE) in the interfered additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel as well as in multipath fading channel. Both technologies are possible solutions for wireless body area networks (WBAN) to implement services like delivering the vital signs data of an individual. The results show how the SmartBAN can outperform BLE in both AWGN and fading channel. In addition, SmartBAN can take advantages of repetition and coding features, which are not present in BLE to increase its performance even more.
