Abstract
A heterogeneous network system, network apparatus, and rendezvous path selection method thereof are provided. The heterogeneous network system includes several partner network apparatuses and a network apparatus. The network apparatus stores at least one weighting table, wherein each weighting table is related to one network service condition. The interface types of the transceiving interfaces of the partner network apparatuses and the network apparatus are not all the same. The network apparatus measures at least one first transmission parameter and receives several second transmission parameters. Each of the first and second transmission parameters is related to transmission between two network apparatuses neighboring each other. The network apparatus enumerates several paths toward a target network apparatus and calculates a path cost corresponding to each of the paths according to one of the weighting table(s) and a portion of the at least one first transmission parameter and the second transmission parameters.
