Get the time of arrival for a wireless frame

I am implementing a TDMA-like wireless protocol in OMNET++ and INET. To synchronise with the time slot structure, a node needs to precisely retrieve the time of arrival of beacon frames. The Signal object that the radio is receiving has the arrival property that could be used for that, however only the associated Packet object is passed up the stack and it does not contain that information.

I suppose the right way of implementing that would be to associate a custom tag carrying the timing information with received packets. To do this, shall I override some classes in the radio/medium stack of INET or is there an out-of-the-box solution that I am overlooking?

Thank you.
