NRF24L01 not receiving data

Hi!
I am using two NRF24L01 chips for wireless communication.
The transmitter chip is transmitting a single byte data, however the receiver is not being able to receive the data. Although the carrier detect flag on the receiver side goes high each time the transmitter transmits. I am not using any library and also I have disabled the auto acknowledgement feature.
If someone has prior working knowledge on this chip, please help. What could I be missing?

Thanks

hi,
Look thru this tutorial, the nrf24L01 has to be programmed to work for data tx/rx.
