1. A method comprising:

  • monitoring wireless transmissions, at least two of which are based on different directional transmissions from a transmitter;

    generating a first type of feedback messages to control a power output level of the transmitter;

    generating a second type of feedback messages to indicate which of the at least two different directional transmissions from the transmitter supports a higher quality received signal;

    communicating the first and second type of feedback messages over a shared feedback channel to adjust settings of the transmitter;

    partitioning the shared feedback channel into multiple repeating sequences of frames; and

    communicating either a first or second type of feedback message in a frame of the shared feedback channel depending on a position of the frame in a sequence of periodically repeating frames.
