PHY Layer Arrival Time -- Time when a packet arrives from MAC Layer and transmission starts
PHY Layer Start Time -- Time when the first byte of the packet reaches the receiver
PHY Layer End Time -- Time when the last byte of the packet reaches the receiver
In general -
PHY Layer End Time - Phy Layer Start Time = Propagation Delay
PHY Layer Start Time - Phy Layer Arrival Time = Transmission time (plus preamble time in WLAN)
