A system is provided for optimisation processing in a cellular communications network having a central element ( 30 ) and a number of distributed network elements ( 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50 ). Each network element ( 40-50 ) is coupled to the central element, and each is arranged to obtain optimisation data and has a pre-processing arrangement ( 120 ) for pre-processing the optimisation data. The central element ( 30 ) then receives and processes this pre-processed optimisation data to produce optimisation code for optimising the performance of the network. In this way less data needs to be backhauled to the central element ( 30 ), and less processing is required at the central element ( 30 ), thereby improving the scalability of the network.
