The layering of the QMI between the applications excuting on a TE device and the MSM device

the term TE is inclusive of all form factors including devices such as PC, notebook, PDA, smartphone. The TE can be attached to the MSM over various bus interconnects.

QMI(Qualcomm MSM Interface) Multiplexing Protocol (QMUX) A QMUX implementation provides transport for QMI service messages between QMI control point(s) and QMI service(s) over the control channel of QMI logical device Message Format as following :
