Energy cost value framework for system-level network energy savings

An apparatus for wireless communication at a second network node, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the one or more memories and configured to cause the second network node to:
• receive a request for an energy cost associated with one or more attributes for the second network node, wherein the request indicates the one or more attributes, and wherein the one or more attributes include one or more of a beam, a group of beams, a coverage state for one or more beams or cells, a cell activation, a cell deactivation, a beam activation, a beam deactivation, a beam reconfiguration, a cell reconfiguration, a power reconfiguration, a periodicity, a system information activation, a system information deactivation, a synchronization signal block (SSB) activation, an SSB deactivation, discontinuous transmission (DTX), discontinuous reception (DRX), a random access configuration, a paging configuration, or a group handover of multiple user equipment (UEs);
• and
• provide a response that indicates energy cost information of the second network node associated with the one or more attributes indicated in the request.
