Abstract: In some implementations, a method of wireless communications between a wireless communications network and wireless user equipment includes receiving, using a primary Time Division Duplex (TDD) configuration, data on a primary component carrier in a first frequency band. Using a secondary TDD configuration, data on a secondary component carrier is received in a second frequency band different from the first frequency band. A Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) for data received on the secondary component carrier is transmitted using a supplemental TDD configuration. A transmission or retransmission on the secondary component carrier uses a supplemental TDD configuration as well. The supplemental TDD configuration is different from the secondary TDD configuration. Furthermore, an uplink supplemental configuration may be different from a downlink supplemental configuration.

Abstract: Methods and devices for determining whether a mobile device has been compromised. File tree structure information for the mobile device is obtained that details at least a portion of a tree-based structure of folders and files in a portion of memory. The file tree structure information is analyzed to determine that the mobile device has been compromised, has not been compromised, or might be compromised. Based on determining that the mobile device might be compromised, the mobile device is instructed to execute a restricted action. If the restricted action occurs on the mobile device then it is determined that the mobile device has been compromised. Based on that determination, an action is taken.
