Abstract
A telecommunications switch serving a roaming mobile station transports the resulting billing records by setting up a communication link with an administrative billing center connected to a Signaling System No. 7 (SS7) telecommunications network by utilizing Signal Connection Control Point (SCCP) signals. Once the connection is established between the telecommunication switch and the administrative billing center, Data Message Handler (DMH) formatted data are stored into a Data Form 2 (DT2) SCCP signal by the telecommunication switch and transported to the administrative billing center via the SS7 telecommunications network.
