Hi Chin-Ya,

MAC implementations are currently a work in progress in GNU Radio, that is making headway with the new m-blocks and in-band signaling but not done yet.

You do not need a true MAC layer to transmit packets. The PHY transforms bits in to some waveform, right? There is nothing stopping a transmitter and receiver from making sense of these bits.

OFDM sends and receives packets the same way benchmark_tx/rx.py do. The transmitter has some framing bit sequence that the receiver is going to look for while it decodes the bits. If it sees the bit sequence, it shoves the next X bits into a structure, which is your packet. Or, it decodes enough to hit a payload field and then determines how many bits to decode next as the payload.

Dig in to the code and following code:
./gnuradio-core/src/python/gnuradio/ofdm_packet_utils.py

Hey,

Does gnuradio implement any MAC layer thinngs, otherwise how the ofdm send and 
receive packets?

Thanks
