John, A phase difference (phi) between the frequency of the transmit carrier (f_c) and the receiver local oscillator (f_r) will be exhibited as a rotation of your received symbols in the complex plain.
I think that's what you mean to imply in your equations, but to get a little more precise: Let x_i and x_q be the in-phase and quadrature components of your baseband message at the transmitter. Let y_i and y_q be the same for the baseband message at the receiver (after downconversion with an oscillator with a phase offset). y_i = (x_i * cos(phi)) + (x_q * sin(phi)) y_q = (x_i * cos(phi)) - (x_q * cos(phi)) If phi is 0, you recover the original in-phase and quadrature components. Otherwise, it works like a rotation by phi. If the receiver local oscillator has a frequency offset from the transmitter oscillator (f_c != f_r), the received symbols will continuously rotate over time. (I may have reversed the sign in those equations... it depends on the implementation of the downconverter, but you can detect and correct for it in the same way.)

I was concerned with the received signal path. Suppose, I have the receiver tuned to, let's say, GPS signal. What will the received signal look like. Considering the GPS message signal is m(t), then what would equation would best describe the received signal. If 'f_c' is the carrier frequency then the signal coming over the USB bus on to the computer for baseband processing will be, inphase(t) = m(t) cos(phi) quadrature(t) = m(t)sin(phi) where, 'phi' is the instantaneous offset. Remember, phi here is a broad term which includes all kinds of offsets(frequency, phase etc).

I think you're confusing the baseband and passband signals a little, and the equations aren't quite right. The complex-baseband signal (your message) is the data that is transferred across the USB channel. x[i] = (in-phase) + j*(quadrature) = (x_i) + j*(x_q) These are samples of your message signal, after modulation (mapping to a complex QAM-constellation, for example), coding, pulse-shaping, etc. The signal is up/down converted on the USRP device such that the transmitted RF signal is r(t) = x_i*cos(2*pi*f_c) - (x_q)*sin(2*pi*f_c) (where f_c is your RF carrier frequency, and I'm ignoring phase offsets and noise) Notice the subtraction there (which comes from the trig identities) and that all the terms are real (it's a real passband signal). Hope that helps a little.
