Claim:
A method for establishing a plurality of slot boundaries of a plurality of slots, comprising: receiving a feedback signal reflecting feedback information describing a signal modified according to a diversity parameter adjustment, the feedback signal comprising a control signal, the feedback signal comprising a plurality of slots, a slot comprising a plurality of periods, a period comprising a plurality of bits; and establishing a slot boundary for each slot of the plurality of slots by: partitioning the plurality of bits into the plurality of periods; comparing at least some of the bits of at least some of the plurality of periods by: establishing a density of bits having a value of one for each period of the at least some of the plurality of the periods; calculating a plurality of differences between the densities of bits having a value of one of the at least some of the plurality of periods; and determining a plurality of power transitions from the plurality of differences; and establishing the slot boundaries in accordance with the comparison.
