This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for implementing a channel state information (CSI) measurement and reporting protocol for dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) in a wireless communication network. In some aspects, a BS may transmit control messages periodically and aperiodically that configure a UE to perform signal quality measurements and transmit signal quality reports. When the UE receives a periodic control message, the UE may perform signal quality measurements on both a multimedia broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN) subframe and a non-MBSFN subframe of a frame received from the BS. When the UE receives an aperiodic control message, the UE may perform a signal quality measurement on either a MBSFN subframe or a non-MBSFN subframe. The UE may generate and transmit signal quality reports to the BS periodically and aperiodically corresponding to the received periodic and aperiodic control messages, respectively.
