Resource Request

The first packet received by the MAC of an MS (from the IFQ) triggers a resource_request message to the BS. We buffer the packet and the lock the IFQ to prevent it from sending down further packets. A wait_timer is started to keep track of the time an MS waits for a resource_reply. The resource_request message is transmitted on slot 0 on uplink frequency 0.
