42.6 Radio Arbiter

The Radio Arbiter determines the ownership of the Radio between Zigbee and Bluetooth link controllers. It also generates control to select between Zigbee/Bluetooth to drive the controls and data to or from the RF.

By default, the Arbiter is IDLE and no Link controller has the ownership. The general intention of the design is to provide a radio arbiter that is flexible enough that the arbitration schemes can be tuned by the firmware with real application Bluetooth/Zigbee scenarios.
