1. A radio frequency (RF) bus controller for use in a device, the RF bus controller comprises:

  • an interface module; and

    a processing module, whereinthe interface module receives an RF bus access request for an inter-chip intra-device RF communication;

    the interface forwards a representation of the RF bus access request to the processing module;

    the processing module determines whether to grant the RF bus access request using intra-device RF bus resources or inter-device RF bus resources;

    when the inter-device RF bus resources are to be used, the processing module determines desired inter-device RF bus resources of another device;

    the processing module generates a request for access to the desired inter-device RF bus resources;

    the interface module transmits a representation of the request for access to the desired inter-device RF bus resources to an RF bus controller of the other device; and

    when access to the desired inter-device RF bus resources is granted, the processing module establishes an RF communication link to support the inter-chip intra-device RF communication.
