Hi Per,

I'm not sure what you're attempting to do, and if you're tried the USRP1
inband timestamps, but I do have a slotted scheme I am looking for someone
to test:

While I say "anyone interested in build?"  I have one ready for someone to
help test:

Imagine a basestation and a client in the network.  Therefore you have 2
slots per round.  With the MAC, you specify the slot time and the guard
time, and then when you run it, the client uses the timestamp when the
basestation's beacon was received to determine how to align its own slots.
It uses a TX timestamp to align its transmissions very tightly.  I was able
to achieve microsecond level guard bands.
