nRF 51822 radio receive running error

Question

I'm using nRF 51822 to develop a proprietary wireless protocol.

At Rx side, every 500ms have a listening window with 10ms to listen if there is package to receive. So 10ms is the time out of radio receive, if there is no package received, disable radio, wait 500ms, listen again. the radio receive function is as (wait_time_out_ms=10ms)

   /********************************************************************************/
uint32_t rx_radio_config_parameter(uint8_t *rx_packet, uint32_t frequency, 
	uint32_t logical_address, uint32_t wait_time_out_ms)
{
  uint32_t time_out = 0;
  uint32_t radio_mode = RADIO_MODE;
  uint32_t initial_timer;
	
  /* re-load watch dog request register */
  NRF_WDT->RR[0] = 0x6E524635;

  /* get the initial real time counter */
  initial_timer = NRF_RTC0->COUNTER;
	
  /* Set radio mode */
  radio_mode_set(radio_mode);
  /* Set Frequency bin */
  NRF_RADIO->FREQUENCY = frequency; 
  /* Enable device address to use which receiving */
  NRF_RADIO->RXADDRESSES = logical_address;
	
  /* Set payload pointer */
  NRF_RADIO->PACKETPTR = (uint32_t)rx_packet;
	
  NRF_RADIO->EVENTS_READY = 0U;
  /* Enable radio and wait for ready */
  NRF_RADIO->TASKS_RXEN = 1U;		
  while(NRF_RADIO->EVENTS_READY == 0U)
  {	
    /* radio enable time out */	
    if (((NRF_RTC0->COUNTER - initial_timer) > wait_time_out_ms) || (NRF_RTC0->COUNTER < initial_timer))
    {		
      NRF_RADIO->TASKS_RXEN = 0U;		
      return(1);
    }
  }
	
  NRF_RADIO->EVENTS_END = 0U;
  /* Start listening and wait for address received event */
  NRF_RADIO->TASKS_START = 1U;	
  /* Wait for end of packet */
  while(NRF_RADIO->EVENTS_END == 0U)
  {
    /* radio receive time out */	
    if (((NRF_RTC0->COUNTER - initial_timer) > wait_time_out_ms) || (NRF_RTC0->COUNTER < initial_timer))
    {		
      time_out = 1;
      break;
    }
  }	
	
  NRF_RADIO->EVENTS_DISABLED = 0U;
  /* Disable radio */
  NRF_RADIO->TASKS_DISABLE = 1U;
  while(NRF_RADIO->EVENTS_DISABLED == 0U)
  {
  }

  /* 1: time out, 0: packet recceived */ 
  return (time_out);
}

In most cases, this function works well, but randomly, after several hours, the program stopped inside this function and watch-dog time out (2 seconds) reset (I want radio receive function running at most 10ms).

would you please help to point out the bug inside this function? or any suggetions to better code implementation of radio receive with time out?

Thanks a lot.
