## Abstract

A distributed unit (DU) receives from a central unit (CU), one or more messages comprising one or more parameters indicating that network energy saving (NES) is authorized for a wireless device.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method comprising:
receiving, by a distributed unit (DU) from a central unit (CU), one or more messages comprising one or more parameters indicating that network energy saving (NES) is authorized for a wireless device.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising, determining, by the DU and based on the one or more messages, whether to apply the NES to one or more cells of the wireless device.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, based on the determining, sending by the DU to the wireless device, one or more indicators indicating an activation of a cell discontinuous transmission (DTX) of the one or more cells.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, further comprising, receiving, by the DU from the CU, radio resource control (RRC) information of the wireless device, wherein the RRC information comprises one or more radio capabilities of the wireless device at least one of:
cell discontinuous transmission (DTX);
cell discontinuous reception (DRX);
extended idle mode DRX;
cell deactivation;
synchronization signal block deactivation; or
quality of service (QOS) degradation.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The method of claim 4, wherein the determining is further based on the RRC information of the wireless device.

### Claim 6 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, further comprising, sending by the DU to the wireless device, one or more second indicators, indicating an activation of a cell discontinuous reception (DRX) of the one or more cells.

### Claim 7 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, further comprising:
sending by the DU to the CU, a first message, requesting a F1 setup between the DU and the CU, wherein the first message comprises a second parameter indicating that the NES is capable of the DU; and
receiving, by the DU from the CU, a second message, indicating a successful F1 setup.

### Claim 8

A distributed unit (DU) comprising one or more processors and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the DU to:
receive, from a central unit (CU), one or more messages comprising one or more parameters indicating that network energy saving (NES) is authorized for a wireless device.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The DU of claim 8, wherein the instructions further cause the DU to determine, based on the one or more messages, whether to apply the NES to one or more cells of the wireless device.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The DU of claim 9, wherein the instructions further cause the DU to send to the wireless device and based on the determining, one or more indicators indicating an activation of a cell discontinuous transmission (DTX) of the one or more cells.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The DU of claim 10, wherein the instructions further cause the DU to receive, from the CU, radio resource control (RRC) information of the wireless device, wherein the RRC information comprises one or more radio capabilities of the wireless device at least one of:
cell discontinuous transmission (DTX);
cell discontinuous reception (DRX);
extended idle mode DRX;
cell deactivation;
synchronization signal block deactivation; or
quality of service (QOS) degradation.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The DU of claim 11, wherein the determining is further based on the RRC information of the wireless device.

### Claim 13 (depends on 9)

The DU of claim 9, wherein the instructions further cause the DU to send, to the wireless device, one or more second indicators, indicating an activation of a cell discontinuous reception (DRX) of the one or more cells.

### Claim 14 (depends on 9)

The DU of claim 9, wherein the instructions further cause the DU to:
send, to the CU, a first message, requesting a F1 setup between the DU and the CU, wherein the first message comprises a second parameter indicating that the NES is capable of the DU; and
receive, from the CU, a second message, indicating a successful F1 setup.

### Claim 15

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a distributed unit (DU), cause the DU to:
receive, from a central unit (CU), one or more messages comprising one or more parameters indicating that network energy saving (NES) is authorized for a wireless device.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the instructions further cause the DU to determine, based on the one or more messages, whether to apply the NES to one or more cells of the wireless device.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16, wherein the instructions further cause the DU to send to the wireless device and based on the determining, one or more indicators indicating an activation of a cell discontinuous transmission (DTX) of the one or more cells.

### Claim 18 (depends on 17)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17, wherein the instructions further cause the DU to receive, from the CU, radio resource control (RRC) information of the wireless device, wherein the RRC information comprises one or more radio capabilities of the wireless device at least one of:
cell discontinuous transmission (DTX);
cell discontinuous reception (DRX);
extended idle mode DRX;
cell deactivation;
synchronization signal block deactivation; or
quality of service (QOS) degradation.

### Claim 19 (depends on 18)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18, wherein the determining is further based on the RRC information of the wireless device.

### Claim 20 (depends on 16)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16, wherein the instructions further cause the DU to send, to the wireless device, one or more second indicators, indicating an activation of a cell discontinuous reception (DRX) of the one or more cells.
