Abstract
In some embodiments herein a method in a first communication device (10) for determining a power mode for a base station to enter is disclosed. The first communication device (10) determines cell load indicating user equipment activity within a first local cell A of the base station. Furthermore, the first communication device (10) receives cell load information from a second communication device (20) comprising an indication of user equipment activity within a second cell B associated to the second communication device (20), and determines the power mode for the base station to enter based on—the received cell load information and the determined load in the first local cell (A).
