A method in a transmitter station for establishing a wireless link with a receiver station includes: sending beamforming training data to the receiver station; responsive to sending the beamforming training data, receiving from the receiver station: beamforming feedback data; and a beamforming feedback mode indicator selected from (i) a multi-subcarrier feedback mode, and (ii) a single carrier feedback mode; when the beamforming feedback mode indicator corresponds to the single carrier feedback mode, obtaining beamforming parameters based on the beamforming feedback data.
