Claim:
1. A method for energy saving management in a network management system, the network management system comprising an integrated reference point manager (IRPManager) and an integrated reference point agent (IRPAgent) connected to the IRPManager, the method comprising: receiving, by the IRPAgent from the IRPManager, an identifier of a coverage backup entity and a load threshold for energy saving activation; and performing, by the IRPAgent, energy saving management on a local entity according to the identifier of the coverage backup entity and the load threshold for energy saving activation, wherein in performing the energy saving management, the coverage backup entity provides coverage backup for the local entity when the local entity enters an energy saving state; and wherein the load threshold for energy saving activation comprises a local load threshold for energy saving activation and a backup load threshold for energy saving activation, the local load threshold for energy saving activation is a load threshold of the local entity for triggering the local entity to enter the energy saving state, and the backup load threshold for energy saving activation is a load threshold of the coverage backup entity for triggering the local entity to enter the energy saving state.
