1. An apparatus of a Bluetooth (BT) device, the apparatus comprising:
a first BT radio;
a second BT radio; and
a BT controller including logic and circuitry configured to control BT activities of the first and second BT radios, the BT controller configured to process a Host Controller Interface (HCI) command from a host processor of the BT device to setup a BT activity, the BT controller configured to identify one or more scheduling requirements of the BT activity based on the HCI command, and, based on the scheduling requirements of the BT activity, to schedule the BT activity to a selected BT radio from the first and second BT radios, wherein the BT controller is configured to identify one or more first scheduling requirements of a first BT activity based on a first HCI command from the host processor, to schedule the first BT activity to the first BT radio according to the first scheduling requirements, to identify one or more second scheduling requirements of a second BT activity based on a second HCI command from the host processor, and to selectively schedule the second BT activity to the first BT radio or to the second BT radio based on the second scheduling requirements.
