1. A method for measuring cells in a public land mobile network (PLMN), comprising:
- receiving, via a wireless communication on an unlicensed carrier frequency, an enhanced discovery reference signal (eDRS) transmitted by a cell on the unlicensed carrier frequency, wherein the eDRS comprises at least a reference signal transmission or a synchronization signal transmission, and wherein the eDRS is subject to listen-before-talk (LBT);
performing measurements of the eDRS for the cell based at least in part on a configuration associated with a serving cell; and
reporting, via another wireless communication to the serving cell, the measurements of the eDRS.

Abstract
Various aspects described herein relate to measuring cells in a public land mobile network (PLMN). An enhanced discovery reference signal (eDRS) of a cell is received on an unlicensed carrier frequency, wherein the eDRS comprises at least a reference signal transmission or a synchronization signal transmission. Measurements of the eDRS for the cell can be performed based at least in part on a configuration associated with a serving cell. The measurements of the eDRS can be reported to the serving cell.
