Patent number: 8724791Abstract: A call setup process (28) in a telecommunication device (10) is controlled, wherein the telecommunication device (10) receives a user command (22) to set up a call, initiates the call setup process (28), determines that the call is likely to reach a voicemail system (14), and, in response to the determination that the call is likely to reach the voicemail system (14), automatically terminates the call setup process (28). A telecommunication device (10) comprises related features. A telecommunication network (12) is adapted to support or implement a determination whether or not an incoming call is forwarded to the voicemail system (14). The invention improves the user experience if a called party does not personally answer a telephone call.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2007Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: LSI CorporationInventors: Assaf Landschaft, Bernd Hochmuth

Patent number: 8352830Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for processing data packets having a payload and a checksum, wherein the payload has a first portion of interest. If a received data packet fails a CRC check, then it is determined whether the first portion has a valid relationship with one or more previous first portions of one or more corresponding previous payloads of one or more corresponding previous data packets. If the relationship is valid, then the first portion is output. The method enables recovery of first portions of interest from corrupted data packets having transmission errors in other parts of the data packets, thereby potentially decreasing retransmissions and increasing throughput.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2007Date of Patent: January 8, 2013Assignee: Agere Systems LLCInventors: Assaf Landschaft, Ronen Shevach

Patent number: 8261241Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for correlating log entries in a log file to the line numbers of formatted-string output functions in source code, where the formatted-string output functions contain instructions to generate the log entries in the log file. The method includes locating the formatted-string output functions in the source code, where each formatted-string output function contains a format string. Each format string is processed to generate a corresponding regular expression to match log entries outputted by the corresponding formatted-string output function. Each regular expression is associated with the line number of the corresponding formatted-string output function. The resultant list of regular expressions and corresponding line numbers is processed with the log file, where log entries in the log file are modified to indicate the line numbers associated with matching regular expressions.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2008Date of Patent: September 4, 2012Assignee: Agere Systems Inc.Inventors: Francisco Gutierrez, Assaf Landschaft, Salai Valarmathi Ramakrishnan, Michael Sprenglewski
