1. A method in a second wireless communication transceiver of providing precoder selection feedback to a first wireless communication transceiver as precoding information for said first transceiver, said method comprising:

  • determining channel conditions at the second transceiver;

    operating in a first feedback mode, selecting a precoder from a predetermined set of precoders based on said channel conditions, sending a full-range index value, with the ability to indicate any of the precoders in the predetermined set, for the selected precoder to said first transceiver as said precoder selection feedback;

    operating in a second feedback mode, selecting a precoder from a smaller, predetermined subset of precoders contained within the predetermined set of precoders based on said channel conditions, and sending a smaller-range index value, with the ability to only indicate precoders within the predetermined subset of precoders, for the selected precoder to said first transceiver as said precoder selection feedback; and

    using a smaller signaling payload for sending smaller-range index values as compared to the signaling payload used to send full-range index values.
