Abstract
A heterogeneous network system, network apparatus, and rendezvous path selection method thereof are provided. The heterogeneous network system includes partner network apparatuses and a network apparatus. The transceiving interfaces of the network apparatus and the partner network apparatuses are not all the same. The network apparatus measures at least one first transmission parameter and receives a plurality of second transmission parameters. Each of the at least one first transmission parameter is associated with transmission from the network apparatus to one of its neighboring network apparatuses. Each of the second transmission parameters is associated with transmission between two network apparatuses neighboring each other. The network apparatus enumerates a plurality of paths from itself to a target network apparatus and calculates a path cost for each of the paths according to at least a portion of a combination of the at least one first transmission parameter and the second transmission parameters.
