1. An apparatus to be employed as an integration reference point (IRP) manager in a Network Manager (NM), the apparatus comprising:

  • processor circuitry coupled with memory circuitry, wherein;

    the memory circuitry is to store an information object class (IOC), the IOC to contain radio network-related parameters for a neighbor cell relation (NR) between a source cell and another cell, and wherein the IOC comprises an adjacent cell (adjacentCell) attribute and an energy-saving coverage (IsEScoveredBy) attribute; and

    the processor circuitry is to configure a value for the IsEScoveredBy attribute in the IOC, wherein the value is to indicate whether the other cell indicated by the adjacentCell attribute provides no, partial, or full Inter-radio access technology (RAT) coverage for the source cell when the source cell is about to be transferred to an energy saving state.
