You can do whatever you want in the fpga. The critical part for you is to identify the phy and mac layer components that are latency sensitive and implement those on the fpga. You don't necessarily have to slap the entire mac and phy onto the fpga.

However, we have strict timing requirements in our MAC design. We understand that the USRP2 has a much more capable FPGA compared to USRP1. What we would like to know from the community is: 1. Does USRP2 allow unrestricted access to the FPGA? 2. If it does, will it be possible to burn the complete PHY and MAC layers (or atleast PHY and some parts of MAC) on to the FPGA? I understand that this depends on the complexity - ours is most likely a simplified OFDMA.
