Zusammenfassung:	An ATM network which collects billing data from ATM switches in a switched voice network. A full, partial or summary report is produced. The ATM switches can be anywhere in the network. The ATM network includes the ATM switches, a data collection unit and billing systems. The data collection unit collects pertinent data and outputs the data to an AT&T billing system or any other desired billing system. Because ATM systems use cells for carrying information, the system is faster and more efficient than TDM systems. In addition, the output of the data collection system is table driven and can be defined to match the input needs of TDM billing systems without increased effort or expense.
