A method of determining indicators for matrix codewords in a matrix codeword codebook, where the matrix codewords are adapted for communicating information between a transmitter and a receiver. The method includes providing a lookup table that is associated with multiple codewords that are associated with a codebook. The lookup table has m rows, and each row in the lookup table has a one-to-one correspondence with a codeword in the multiple codewords. Each row has p entries and each of the p entries holds a codeword indicator that identifies a codeword in the multiple codewords. The (i,j)th entry in the lookup table holds the codeword indicator identifying the jth most similar codeword to the codeword associated with the ith row according to a similarity metric, where 1≦̸i≦̸m and 1≦̸j≦̸p, and the m rows include a row k. The method includes identifying a first indicator in the row k by testing each of the indicators in the first p entries of row k to determine which of the indicators in the first n entries identifies a reduced search codeword that best satisfies a selection criterion, wherein, n has a predetermined value and 1≦̸n≦̸p, and, in relation to the other remaining indicators in the first n entries of the first row, the first indicator identifies the reduced search codeword that best satisfies the selection criterion.
