We study an (n+3)($n\;{\geq}\;7-dimensional$ real submanifold of a (4m+3)-unit sphere $S^{4m+3}$ with Sasakian 3-structure induced from the canonical quaternionic $K\"{a}hler$ structure of quaternionic (m+1)-number space $Q^{m+1}$, and especially determine contact three CR-submanifolds with (p-1) contact three CR-dimension under the equality conditions given in (4.1), where p = 4m - n denotes the codimension of the submanifold. Also we provide necessary conditions concerning sectional curvature in order that a compact contact three CR-submanifold of (p-1) contact three CR-dimension in $S^{4m+3}$ is the model space $S^{4n_1+3}(r_1){\times}S^{4n_2+3}(r_2)$ for some portion $(n_1,\;n_2)$ of (n-3)/4 and some $r_1,\;r_2$ with $r^{2}_{1}+r^{2}_{2}=1$.

Let $B^{n+1}$ be the unit ball in the complex vector space $\mathbb{C}^{n+1}$ with the standard Hermitian metric. Let ${\Sigma}^n={\partial}B^{n+1}=S^{2n+1}$ be the boundary sphere with the induced CR structure. Let f : ${\Sigma}^n{\hookrightarrow}{\Sigma}^N$ be a local CR immersion. If N < 3n - 1, the asymptotic vectors of the CR second fundamental form of f at each point form a subspace of the CR(horizontal) tangent space of ${\Sigma}^n$ of codimension at most 1. We study the higher order derivatives of this relation, and we show that a linearly full local CR immersion f : ${\Sigma}^n{\hookrightarrow}{\Sigma}^N$, N $\leq$ 3n-2, can only occur when N = n, 2n, or 2n + 1. As a consequence, it gives an extension of the classification of the rational proper holomorphic maps from $B^{n+1}$ to $B^{2n+2}$ by Hamada to the classification of the rational proper holomorphic maps from $B^{n+1}$ to $B^{3n+1}$.
