To mitigate the number of packets lost on IEEE 802.15.4 based protocol, prolong the timing parameters for Bluetooth Low Energy, such as the advertising interval or the connection interval.

Radio Transition Measurements
9+
-----------------------------
10+
11+
The following measurement uses the nRF21540 Front-End Module (FEM) connected to a Nordic SoC, which provides
12+
essential timing data through GPIO pins.
13+
The RX_EN pin manages the Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) function of the FEM.
14+
When RX_EN is low (deactivated), the LNA is disabled, indicating that receive operations are ending or the
15+
radio is being deactivated at the end of a time slot.
16+
17+
During protocol transitions, radio switching timing metric is measured in both directions:
18+
19+
Radio switching time:
20+
802.15.4 to Bluetooth transition:
21+
* Start: FEM RX_EN pin event (802.15.4 radio turning off on the end of 802.15.4 activity)
22+
* End: RADIO READY event for Bluetooth operation (Bluetooth LE radio turned on and ready)
23+
24+
Bluetooth to 802.15.4 transition:
25+
* Start: RADIO DISABLED event (Bluetooth radio turning off)
26+
* End: RADIO READY event for 802.15.4 operation (802.15.4 radio turned on and ready)
27+
28+
The measurements are collected during Bluetooth advertisement, scanning, and connection activities while the
29+
nRF 802.15.4 radio driver is in the receive state.
