Configurations for supporting network energy savings (nes) modes for cellular mobility

A method implemented by a first network node that is configured to communicate with a wireless device and a second network node, the method comprising:

• receiving a first indication indicating the second network node is operating in a first operating mode, the first operating mode being a non-network energy savings, NES, mode or one of a plurality of NES modes;
• determining whether the second network node should transition to a second operating mode different from the first operating mode, the second operating mode being the non-NES mode or one of the plurality of NES modes;
• and
• transmitting a request for the second network node to transition to the second operating mode, the request being based on the determination to transition the second network node.
