Hi Y,

In the relatively near term, I'll be gluing the message blocks
(m-blocks) and the GR flow graphs together.  When that is complete, I
expect that what you'll find is that the natural place to write MAC
layer stuff is in m-blocks while using the flow graph to implement the
PHY.  This will use inband signaling on the USRP1 and/or USRP2 and
will give us precise control of time of transmission.
