Defining and detecting the community structure is an important topic on exploring the complex networks. Previous works were mostly based on the so-called modularity method, in which vertices that interconnect to each other form modules in the network In many real-world networks, however, vertices are grouped not by their connectivity but by their functions. To demonstrate this idea, we propose a new, kind of network, in which the vertices ire catalogued into several types and are assigned intrinsic fitness. Each type of vertices satisfy a different fitness distribution. It is found that the whole network exhibits a multi-scaling degree distribution. The clustering coefficients of the subnetworks are modified by the interlinks between vertices in the subnetworks.
