First, try running the benchmark_ofdm_tx on one side and tht usrp_fft to
display the received power at the receiver. What does this look like?

The problem is likely that you are not transmitting enough power. There
is a --tx-amplitude flag to adjust this. Set it to 2000 - 4000.

Hello,

I increased the amplitude to around 3000 on the tx usrp. I also ran the usrp_fft.py on the rx side. I could observe the spectrum of the rx signal which was around 30 dB. So I know that the rx side usrp is able to receive the packets trasnmitted. However, now when I run the benchmark_ofdm_rx.py script on the rx side, I do not see any output. The output that I get is

After rx_callback( ) definition
>>> gr_fir_ccf: using SSE
>>> gr_fir_fff: using SSE
INIT Completed Successfully!!!!
fg=usrp_graph(....) called (comment added for debugging)
gr_buffer::allocate_buffer: warning: tried to allocate
   20 items of size 1600. Due to alignment requirements
   64 were allocated.  If this isn't OK, consider padding
   your structure to a power-of-two bytes.
   On this platform, our allocation granularity is 4096 bytes.
fg.start() (comment added for debugging)
Inside RX _Callback pktno (comment added for debugging)
ok: False        pktno: 58626    n_rcvd: 1       n_right: 0

  Only one packet is received after a long time.  Could you suggest as to why the output is not displayed?
