[0084] For ease of understanding, some contents involved in the embodiments of the present application are described below:

[0085] 1. Multi-SIM User Equipment (MUSIM UE), also known as Multi-Universal Subscriber Identity Module Card User Equipment.

[0086] Currently, there are not only single-card terminals but also dual-card or multi-card terminals, which are collectively referred to as multi-card terminals.

[0087] A multi-card terminal can contain multiple UEs, which are called MUSIM UEs. Among them, the first UE can be a UE in the multi-card terminal. It should be noted that the UE can be considered as a contracting entity. Multiple contracting entities can be configured on a terminal. The contracting entity can be reflected by a user identification module (Universal Subscriber Identity Module, SIM) card. One SIM card corresponds to the contracting entity of one network. The SIM card stores the identifier of the contracting entity, that is, the identifier of the UE, such as the user identity identifier (Subscription Permanent Identifier, SUPI), or the international mobile subscription identity (International Mobile Subscription Identity, IMSI), etc. Therefore, when multiple SIM cards are inserted into a terminal or multiple electronic SIM card information is configured, the terminal and different contracting entities can constitute different UEs.

[0088] The capabilities of a multi-card terminal can be single-transmit single-receive, single-transmit dual-receive (Dual-Rx), and dual-transmit dual-receive (Dual-Tx).

[0089] One feature of a multi-card terminal is that it can reside on multiple networks at the same time, but the implementation methods of multi-card terminals are different. Some terminals can send and receive on multiple networks at the same time without affecting each other.

[0090] Some multi-card terminals that support dual transmission and dual reception can send and receive data on multiple networks simultaneously on a specific frequency band without affecting each other. On other frequency bands, data may be sent and received on two networks in a time-division manner.

[0091] 2. MUSIM Gap.

[0092] If the UE is in a connected state on network A, a gap is required to perform tasks for MUSIM purposes on network B.

[0093] MUSIM uses include:

[0094] At least one of cell identification and measurement, paging monitoring, system information block (SIB) reception, and on-demand system information request.

[0095] The network may provide at least one of up to three periodic gaps and one aperiodic gap.

[0096] For example, three periodic gaps are used as follows:

[0097] Gap1: Receive SSB and / or PEI, and perform serving cell measurement based on SSB;

[0098] Gap2: Paging monitoring: paging message;

[0099] Gap3: Neighboring cell measurement.

[0100] Optionally, the Paging Early Indidation (PEI) is used to indicate whether there is a UE paging corresponding to the Paging Occasion (PO) associated with it. When PEI is configured, the UE first monitors the PEI and then decides whether to monitor the PO. When the UE monitors the PEI and the PEI bit value of the group corresponding to the UE is "1", the UE will monitor the corresponding PO; otherwise, the UE will not monitor the PO.

[0101] 3. Gap conflict handling.

[0102] A conflict may occur between configured MUSIM measurement gaps, and a conflict may also occur between a configured MUSIM measurement gap and a configured measurement gap. Currently, both priority-based conflict solutions (or conflict handling methods) and coexistence-based conflict solutions can be used for MUSIM gap conflict handling. That is, when two gaps of different priorities conflict, the measurement gap with a lower priority is discarded. For the coexistence solution (Keep Solution), conflict handling between MUSIM gaps can adopt a conflicting MUSIM gap coexistence method, that is, all conflicting MUSIM gaps are retained without being discarded.

[0103] The network configures the priority of the measurement gap, ranging from [1, 16]. The user equipment can report the UE auxiliary information message to provide MUSIM gap preference information, including the priority preference of MUSIM gap. The network can configure MUSIM gap according to the MUSIM gap preference information.

[0104] 4. Behavior during the Gap period.

[0105] The MUSIM gap may be used to perform tasks for the MUSIM purpose on network B. If the UE initiates a random access before the MUSIM gap, the UE may monitor the random access response and continue to perform the random access procedure in the MUSIM gap.

[0106] The gap processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below through some embodiments and their application scenarios in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0107] Reference Figure 2 , the present application embodiment provides a gap processing method, such as Figure 2As shown, the gap processing method includes:

[0108] Step 201: The primary node performs a first operation on the secondary node. The first operation includes any one of the following:

[0109] Sending first indication information, where the first indication information is used to indicate a conflict handling method of the first gap;

[0110] Sending a first request message, where the first request message is used to request a conflict handling method for a first gap;

[0111] When target uplink information sent by the user equipment is monitored during the second gap, ignoring the second gap, and sending second indication information to the secondary node, where the second indication information is used to indicate that the second gap is ignored;

[0112] A third indication information is received from the secondary node, where the third indication information is used to indicate that a second gap is ignored, where the second gap is a gap in which the user equipment sends target uplink information.

[0113] In an embodiment of the present application, the first gap may include multiple gaps, and the multiple gaps may be one type or at least two types of gaps, for example, may include at least one of a MUSIM gap and a measurement gap. Gap conflict may be understood as multiple gaps overlapping or close in time, for example, when the time gap between two gaps is less than a preset value, the two gaps may be considered to conflict. The above-mentioned conflict handling method may be understood as a solution for conflicting gaps. Specifically, it may include a priority-based conflict handling method and a conflict handling method for retaining conflicting gaps, wherein the conflict handling method for retaining conflicting gaps may be understood or replaced by a conflict solution based on coexistence.

[0114] Optionally, when the first operation includes sending the first indication information, it can be understood that the primary node can directly determine the conflict handling method and indicate the conflict handling method to the secondary node, so as to ensure that the secondary node and the primary node have consistent understanding of the gap conflict handling method.

[0115] Optionally, the first operation includes sending a first request message, which can be understood as the primary node and the secondary node negotiating to determine the conflict handling method for the gap, so as to ensure that the secondary node and the primary node have consistent understandings of the conflict handling method for the gap. It should be noted that when the conflict handling method for the gap is determined by negotiation, the secondary node can feedback corresponding information to the primary node to indicate agreement or rejection of the requested conflict handling method. In some embodiments, in order to reduce signaling overhead, the primary node can default to indicating that the secondary node agrees to the requested conflict handling method when no feedback is received on the first request message, or it can default to indicating that the secondary node rejects the requested conflict handling method, which is not further limited here.

[0116] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the target uplink information sent by the user equipment is monitored during the period when the first operation includes the second gap, the second gap is ignored, and the second indication information is sent to the secondary node. This ensures that the secondary node and the primary node have consistent understanding of the use of the gap. In addition, since the user equipment can send the target uplink information in the gap, the gap time can be fully utilized to improve the data transmission rate; at the same time, the primary node and the secondary node can ignore the gap and use the gap for data transmission, thereby improving the transmission efficiency.

[0117] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first operation includes receiving third indication information from the secondary node. This ensures that the secondary node and the primary node have consistent understanding of the gap usage. In addition, since the user equipment can send target uplink information in the gap, the gap time can be fully utilized to improve the data transmission rate; at the same time, the primary node and the secondary node can ignore the gap and use the gap for data transmission, thereby improving the transmission efficiency.

[0118] It should be noted that the configuration for MUSIM Gap usually includes the following processes:

[0119] Step A1, the network (such as MN) receives a UE Assistance Information message sent by the UE, which includes MUSIM Gap preference information, such as MUSIM Gap configuration preference, MUSIM Gap priority preference, preference on whether to retain the Gap when MUSIM Gap conflicts, etc.

[0120] Step A2: The network sends MUSIM Gap configuration information to the UE, including MUSIM Gap configuration, MUSIM Gap priority, whether to retain the Gap when MUSIM Gap conflicts, etc.

[0121] In an embodiment of the present application, the sending of the first indication information can be performed between the above-mentioned steps A1 and A2, or after step A2; the sending of the first request message can be performed between the above-mentioned steps A1 and A2; the sending of the above-mentioned second indication information and the receiving of the third indication information can usually be performed after step A2.

[0122] It should be noted that the second gap may be a conflicting gap or a non-conflicting gap. In the case where the second gap is a conflicting gap, the second gap may include at least one of a gap discarded based on priority and a gap retained based on priority, or the second gap may be at least a portion of a gap retained based on a conflict handling method for retaining gaps.

[0123] In an embodiment of the present application, a first operation is performed on a secondary node through a primary node, and the first operation includes any one of the following: sending a first indication message, the first indication message is used to indicate a conflict handling method for a first gap; sending a first request message, the first request message is used to request a conflict handling method for a first gap; when a target uplink information sent by a user device is monitored during a second gap, ignoring the second gap, and sending a second indication message to the secondary node, the second indication message is used to indicate that the second gap is ignored; receiving a third indication message from the secondary node, the third indication message is used to indicate that the second gap is ignored, and the second gap is a gap in which the user device sends the target uplink information. In this way, it can be ensured that the primary node and the secondary node have a consistent understanding of the gap state, thereby improving the reliability of communication.

[0124] Optionally, in some embodiments, the conflict handling method of the first gap includes at least one of the following: a conflict handling method based on priority and a conflict handling method of retaining conflicting gaps;

[0125] The priority-based conflict handling method includes: in the case of a conflict between a gap of a first priority and a gap of a second priority, discarding the gap of the first priority, the first priority being lower than the second priority;

[0126] The conflict handling method of retaining the conflicting gaps includes: in the case of conflict between at least two gaps, retaining the at least two gaps.

[0127] In the embodiment of the present application, the priority-based conflict handling method can be understood as discarding the gap with lower priority when two gaps with different priorities conflict. The conflict handling method for retaining conflicting gaps can be understood as: the conflict handling between gaps adopts a coexistence method, that is, all conflicting gaps are retained without being discarded.

[0128] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first indication information may explicitly or implicitly indicate the conflict handling method of the first gap. For example, an indication field may be set in which the conflict handling method of the first gap is displayed, that is, the first indication information may include first conflict resolution information, and the first conflict resolution information includes the conflict handling method of the first gap. In some embodiments, the conflict handling method of the first gap may be indicated by whether the first indication information includes a retention indication or target priority information, wherein:

[0129] The reservation indication is used to indicate a conflict handling method of reserving a conflict gap;

[0130] The target priority information is used to implicitly indicate that a priority-based conflict handling method is adopted, wherein the target priority information is priority information of the gap.

[0131] In one embodiment, the information sent by the master node to the slave node includes a reservation indication, and the conflict handling method for the first gap indicated by the indication is a conflict handling method for retaining the conflicting gap. The information sent by the master node to the slave node does not include a reservation indication, and the conflict handling method for the first gap indicated by the indication is a priority-based conflict handling method.

[0132] In one embodiment, the information sent by the master node to the slave node includes target priority information, indicating that the conflict handling method for the first gap indicated is a priority-based conflict handling method, and the information sent by the master node to the slave node does not include target priority information, indicating that the conflict handling method for the first gap indicated is a conflict handling method for retaining conflict gaps.

[0133] In the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned target priority information may include priority information of all gaps, or may only include priority information of different gaps in the first gap.

[0134] Optionally, the above-mentioned reservation indication can be understood as an indication of adopting a reservation scheme, for example, the MN sends the reservation indication when using a conflict handling method of retaining conflict gaps. If the MN does not use the conflict handling method of retaining conflict gaps and does not send the reservation indication, the SN uses a priority-based conflict handling method.

[0135] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first indication information also includes the first gap, that is, at least one gap to which the gap conflict handling method is applicable. For example, it may be a certain gap type, such as a MUSIM gap or a measurement gap. It may also be a gap group or a gap list.

[0136] In some embodiments, the MN sends a Gap configuration to the SN, and the SN can identify the first Gap through the Gap configuration.

[0137] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the first indication information includes the target priority information, the conflict handling method of the first gap is a priority-based conflict handling method; when the first indication information does not include the target priority information, the conflict handling method of the first gap is a conflict handling method for retaining the conflict gap.

[0138] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first gap conflict is handled in a target conflict manner, for example, the conflict between MUSIM gaps is handled in a target conflict manner.

[0139] The target conflict handling method may default to a priority-based conflict handling method or a conflict handling method that retains conflict gaps.

[0140] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first indication information can be part of the gap configuration information (for example, musim-GapConfigInfo) (the gap configuration information includes the first indication information) and carried by a cell group configuration information (CG-ConfigInfo) message.

[0141] Optionally, in some embodiments, the conflict handling method of the first gap requested by the first request information includes at least one of the following: a conflict handling method based on priority and a conflict handling method of retaining conflicting gaps;

[0142] The priority-based conflict handling method includes: in the case of a conflict between a gap of a first priority and a gap of a second priority, discarding the gap of the first priority, the first priority being lower than the second priority;

[0143] The conflict handling method of retaining the conflicting gaps includes: in the case of conflict between at least two gaps, retaining the at least two gaps.

[0144] In the embodiment of the present application, the priority-based conflict handling method can be understood as discarding the gap with lower priority when two gaps with different priorities conflict. The conflict handling method for retaining conflicting gaps can be understood as: the conflict handling between gaps adopts a coexistence method, that is, all conflicting gaps are retained without being discarded.

[0145] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the conflict handling method of the requested first gap can be displayed or implicitly indicated. For example, an indication field can be set, in which the conflict handling method of the requested first gap is displayed, that is, the above-mentioned first request information can include second conflict resolution information, and the second conflict resolution information includes the conflict handling method of the requested first gap. In some embodiments, the conflict handling method of the requested first gap can be indicated by whether the first request information includes a retention indication or target priority information, wherein:

[0146] The reservation indication is used to indicate a request to adopt a conflict handling method of reserving a conflict gap;

[0147] The target priority information is used to implicitly indicate that the request adopts a priority-based conflict handling method.

[0148] In one embodiment, the information sent by the master node to the slave node includes a reservation indication, which indicates that the conflict handling method for the first gap requested is a conflict handling method for retaining the conflicting gap. The information sent by the master node to the slave node does not include a reservation indication, which indicates that the conflict handling method for the first gap requested is a priority-based conflict handling method.

[0149] In one embodiment, the information sent by the master node to the slave node includes target priority information, indicating that the conflict handling method for the first gap requested is a priority-based conflict handling method, and the information sent by the master node to the slave node does not include target priority information, indicating that the conflict handling method for the first gap requested is a conflict handling method for retaining conflict gaps.

[0150] Optionally, the request for the reservation indication can be understood as a request for adopting a reservation scheme. For example, the MN sends the request for the reservation indication in a conflict handling method using a reserved conflict gap. If the MN does not use the conflict handling method of retaining the conflict gap, the request for the reservation indication is not sent, and the SN uses a priority-based conflict handling method.

[0151] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first request information also includes the first gap, that is, at least one gap applicable to the gap conflict handling method. For example, it can be a certain gap type, such as MUSIM gap, or measurement gap. It can also be a gap group, or a gap list.

[0152] In some embodiments, the MN sends a Gap configuration to the SN, and the SN can identify the first Gap through the Gap configuration.

[0153] Optionally, when the first request information includes target priority information, it indicates that a priority-based conflict handling method is requested instead of a conflict handling method that retains conflict gaps. If the first request information does not include target priority information, it indicates that a priority-based conflict handling method is requested instead of a priority-based conflict handling method.

[0154] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first request information is part of the gap configuration information (eg, musim-GapConfigInfo) (ie, the gap configuration information includes the first request information) and is carried by a cell group configuration information (CG-ConfigInfo) message.

[0155] Optionally, in some embodiments, after sending the first request message, the method further includes:

[0156] The primary node receives confirmation information from the secondary node, where the confirmation information is used to indicate a conflict handling method of rejecting or accepting the first gap;

[0157] The master node sends gap configuration information to the user equipment based on the confirmation information.

[0158] Optionally, in some embodiments, the confirmation information includes at least one of the following:

[0159] acceptance or rejection of the conflict handling method for the requested first slot;

[0160] Acceptance or rejection of the reservation instruction.

[0161] In an embodiment of the present application, the acceptance or rejection of the conflict handling method for the requested first gap can be understood as receiving or rejecting part or all of the information in the conflict handling method for the requested first gap. For example, when the conflict handling method for the requested first gap includes a priority-based conflict handling method and a conflict handling method for retaining the conflict gap, the confirmation information may include accepting the priority-based conflict handling method and rejecting the conflict handling method for retaining the conflict gap; or may include rejecting the priority-based conflict handling method and accepting the conflict handling method for retaining the conflict gap, or may include accepting the priority-based conflict handling method, or include accepting the conflict handling method for retaining the conflict gap, or include rejecting the conflict handling method for retaining the conflict gap, or include rejecting the priority-based conflict handling method.

[0162] In some embodiments, the confirmation information may not include information on the conflict handling method of the requested first gap. For example, the MN requests a conflict handling method based on priority, and the SN may accept a conflict handling method of retaining the conflict gap.

[0163] It should be understood that in an embodiment of the present application, assuming that a priority-based conflict handling method is requested, if the SN accepts the priority-based conflict handling method, the SN can feedback that it accepts the priority-based conflict handling method; if the SN rejects the priority-based conflict handling method, the SN can feedback that it accepts the priority-based conflict handling method, or not feedback confirmation information.

[0164] Optionally, in the case where the first request information includes a request for a retention indication, the SN may feedback confirmation or rejection of the retention indication.

[0165] Optionally, in some embodiments, the confirmation information is carried by a cell group configuration message.

[0166] Optionally, in some embodiments, the gap configuration information includes a gap configuration and a target conflict handling method, and the target conflict handling method is a conflict handling method of the first gap determined based on the confirmation information.

[0167] In an embodiment of the present application, the gap configuration information may also include Gap priority information.

[0168] Optionally, data transmission may be performed during the gap if the following conditions exist.

[0169] Case 1: When the gap is not used, data transmission is performed during the gap to increase the data transmission rate.

[0170] For example, when PEI is configured, the UE first monitors PEI and then decides whether to monitor PO. When the UE monitors PEI and the PEI bit value of the packet corresponding to the UE is "1", the UE will monitor the corresponding PO; otherwise, the UE does not monitor PO.

[0171] The UE is in a connected state on network A and in an idle or inactive state on network B. If the UE needs a gap to perform tasks for MUSIM purposes on network B, such as paging monitoring, measurement, or PEI, network A may be configured with multiple gaps, one of which is used for paging monitoring corresponding to PO, and another gap is used for PEI monitoring or serving cell measurement.

[0172] If the PEI bit value of the packet corresponding to the UE is not "1", the UE does not need to monitor the PO, that is, the gap used to monitor the PO will not be used. Generally, the paging probability is low, for example, 10%, that is, the gap allocated for monitoring the PO is wasted with a probability of 90%. Using these gaps can help improve the data transmission rate.

[0173] Case 2: During the gap period, the user equipment needs to send a signaling message. For example, the signaling message may include at least one of the following:

[0174] Radio Resource Control (RRC) re-establishment request;

[0175] Master cell group fast recovery message (MCG Fast Recovery) message;

[0176] SCG Failure Info message;

[0177] Tracking Area Update (TAU) or registration message;

[0178] Measurement report message.

[0179] Optionally, in the above case 1 and case 2, the user equipment may send target uplink information. In some embodiments, the target uplink information includes at least one of the following:

[0180] Uplink data of preset channels;

[0181] Configure supported uplink data;

[0182] Physical information;

[0183] Medium Access Control (MAC) message;

[0184] Radio Resource Control RRC message;

[0185] Non-Access Stratum (NAS) message.

[0186] Optionally, the preset channel may include a physical uplink control channel (Physical Uplink Control Channel, PUCCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (Physical Uplink Shared Channel, PUSCH).

[0187] Optionally, uplink data supported for the configuration may include PUSCH transmissions sent by configured grants (CG-PUSCH (type 1 and 2)).

[0188] Optionally, the above physical information may include a layer 1 reference signal received power (Reference Signal Received Power, RSRP) report (L1-RSRP report).

[0189] Optionally, the MAC message may include at least one of the following:

[0190] MAC Control Element (CE), such as Buffer Status Report (BSR);

[0191] Hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ); Scheduling Request (SR);

[0192] Channel State Information (CSI);

[0193] Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) report.

[0194] Optionally, the RRC message may include at least one of the following:

[0195] Measurement Report;

[0196] Radio Resource Control (RRC) re-establishment request;

[0197] Master cell group fast recovery message (MCG Fast Recovery) message;

[0198] Secondary cell group failure information (SCG Failure Info) message.

[0199] Optionally, the above NAS message may include at least one of a registration request and a tracking area update request (TAU Request).

[0200] In an embodiment of the present application, since the user equipment has the need to send the above signaling message during the gap period, data transmission can be performed during the gap period, thereby reducing the delay in sending the above signaling message, improving the data transmission rate, and more effectively utilizing the gap.

[0201] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the target uplink information sent by the user equipment is monitored during the second gap, the second gap is ignored, and before the second indication information is sent to the secondary node or before the third indication information is received from the secondary node, the method further includes:

[0202] The master node sends target configuration information to the user equipment, the target configuration information including a target indication, a priority of the second gap relative to the target uplink information, and at least one of a channel supporting the sending of the target uplink information, the target indication being used to indicate that the user equipment is supported to send the target uplink information during the second gap.

[0203] In an embodiment of the present application, the primary node may send target configuration information to the user equipment. In other embodiments, the secondary node may also send target configuration information to the user equipment.

[0204] It should be understood that the above target configuration information can be used to indicate whether the UE is allowed to send target uplink information.

[0205] Optionally, the priority information for the above target uplink information may be understood as priority information for one or more target uplink information, for example, the priority of the Gap configured by the primary node or the secondary node relative to the uplink or downlink signal.

[0206] Optionally, the channels supporting transmission may include PUSCH.

[0207] Optionally, in some embodiments, the user equipment sends the target uplink information during the second gap. Optionally, the user equipment sends the target uplink information including at least one of the following:

[0208] In case that the configured authorization is received before the second gap, the user equipment sends the target uplink information during the second gap;

[0209] When the priority of the target uplink information is higher than that of the second gap, the user equipment sends the target uplink information during the second gap;

[0210] The target uplink information is allowed to be sent during the second gap;

[0211] The target uplink information includes a primary cell group fast recovery message.

[0212] In an embodiment of the present application, it is assumed that the above-mentioned target uplink information is information sent through the channel PUSCH. For example, if the CG is received before the second gap, the user equipment can send PUSCH during the second gap. That is to say, if the primary node or the secondary node sends the CG before the second gap, the primary node or the secondary node monitors the CG-PUSCH during the second gap.

[0213] It should be understood that support can be understood as or replaced by permission. For example, supporting the user equipment to send the target uplink information during the second gap can be understood as allowing the user equipment to send the target uplink information during the second gap. At this time, during the second gap, the user equipment can send the target uplink information, and the master node or the slave node can monitor the target uplink information.

[0214] Optionally, in some embodiments, the type of at least one of the first gap and the second gap includes at least one of the following:

[0215] Per-UE gap;

[0216] Per-CG gap for cell groups;

[0217] Upward clearance;

[0218] Downward clearance;

[0219] Periodic gaps;

[0220] Non-periodic gaps.

[0221] In the embodiment of the present application, a Per-UE gap is applicable to both the MN and the SN. For the per-UE gap, the configuration of the gap, conflict handling, and changes in the use of the gap by the MN and the SN must be consistent.

[0222] Optionally, in some embodiments, at least one of the first gap and the second gap includes at least one of the following:

[0223] Multi-card MUSIM gap;

[0224] Measure the gap.

[0225] In the embodiment of the present application, the UE may be configured with MUSIM gap, but when a certain gap is useless or there is signaling or higher priority data transmission, the UE is allowed to send uplink during the gap. Currently, the MUSIM gap includes the per-UE gap. Therefore, coordination between the MN and the SN is also required.

[0226] Optionally, in some embodiments, at least one of the second indication information and the third indication information includes relevant information of the second gap, and the relevant information includes at least one of the following:

[0227] Gap identification;

[0228] The length of the gap that is ignored;

[0229] The number of gaps that were ignored.

[0230] In the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned gap can be a periodic gap or a non-periodic gap. If the second gap is a non-periodic gap, ignoring the second gap can be understood as ignoring the entire second gap or ignoring the remaining time of the second gap. If the second gap is a periodic gap, ignoring the second gap can be understood as ignoring one or more gap opportunities of the second gap. Wherein ignoring the opportunity of the second gap can be understood as ignoring a complete gap opportunity of the second gap or ignoring the remaining time in the gap opportunity of the second gap.

[0231] Optionally, the number of ignored gaps may be understood as a plurality of consecutive gap opportunities ignoring periodic gaps.

[0232] Reference Figure 3 , the embodiment of the present application also provides a gap processing method, such as Figure 3 As shown, the gap processing method includes:
