Abstract: An aspect of the disclosure includes a method for supporting voice service continuity, including: establishing a connection between an edge application server and a core network; and providing an IMS function to transmit an IMS information element to the core network by the edge application server during a handover procedure related to an IMS voice service.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for allocating and requesting sidelink resources, a base station and a user device. The method for allocating sidelink resources includes: receiving a request signal from each user device through a first communication interface, wherein the first communication interface belongs to a first communication system; transmitting a grant signal to each user device in response to the request signal of each user device; receiving a resource sensing result of each user device, and accordingly estimating a specific resource sensing result associated with a specific resource pool; and transmitting the specific resource sensing result to a first user device through the first communication interface to allow the first user device to arrange or perform a sidelink transmission corresponding to a second communication system.

Abstract: The disclosure proposes a hierarchical registration method and related apparatus. In an aspect, the method would include registering to the 5G communication network; establishing a connection with the UE after registering to the 5G communication network; receiving a service request message of the UE for registering to the 5G communication network after establishing the connection with the UE; transmitting a first user plane message which includes the service request message of the UE to the 5G communication network; receiving from the 5G communication network an authentication response message which corresponds to the service request message of the UE and forwarding the authentication response message to the UE; and transmitting to the 5G communication network a second user plane message which includes user data of the UE after the authentication response message indicates that the UE is authorized by the 5G communication network.

Abstract: A method of sharing network resource and associated network coordination apparatus are provided. The method includes following steps. Firstly, a resource sharing request from a tenant is received. Then, a controller is requested to determine whether resource of a shared transport network is satisfied with the resource sharing request. A tenant ID is generated for the tenant when the controller determines the resource of the shared transport network is satisfied with the resource sharing request. The tenant ID is transmitted to the tenant. The controller is requested to generate at least one packet header for at least one transport service type corresponding to the each of at least one group ID, and further update a plurality of flow tables of the plurality of forward devices according to the at least one packet header.

Abstract: Accordingly, the disclosure provides a handover optimization method used by a network controller of a transport network and a network controller using the same method.
