A computer implemented method of energy saving management for a source cell in a communication network. The method includes obtaining performance data of the source cell and a plurality of neighbor cells; determining and feeding input variable values to an energy saving management function based on the performance data and network topology of the communication network, wherein the input variables comprise variables representative of: 1) Overlap between the source cell and the neighbor cells, 2) Neighbor cell throughput, and 3) Source cell throughput; wherein the energy saving management function provides output based on combination of the input variables. Energy saving mode for the source cell is determined based on the output of the energy saving management function.
