13. A method, performed by a base station, the method comprising:
communicating, to a user equipment (UE), a set of subframes of a license assisted access (LAA) secondary cell (SCell), each subframe of the set of subframes includes cell-specific reference signals (CRS) or channel state information (CSI) reference signals (CSI-RS);
receiving, in response to the set of subframes, a CSI report that indicates CSI, the CSI including a channel quality indicator (COI) based at least in part on an average of one or more channel measurements from multiple subframes of the set of subframes, wherein the multiple subframes comprise a first subframe and a second subframe later than the first subframe, wherein each orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol of a second slot of the first subframe is occupied, wherein each of at least a first three OFDM symbols of the second subframe are occupied, and wherein, when there are one or more additional subframes between the first subframe and the second subframe, each OFDM symbol of the one or more additional subframes is occupied; and
processing the CSI report to facilitate further communication with the UE.
