  • Publication number: 20160157261
    Abstract: A scheduling and processing method and apparatus for a wireless fidelity (WiFi) station (STA), which resolve a prior-art problem that when multiple STAs are connected to WiFi by means of one access point (AP), due to bandwidth contention, once a STA sensitive to a radio frequency signal is connected to the WiFi, the STA may occupy almost all bandwidth for data exchange, causing a decrease in quality of service of data transmission of the other STAs. The method includes the following steps: acquiring network connection information, within a predetermined time, of STAs that are connected to a WiFi network by means of an AP; sorting the network connection information of the STAs in accordance with priorities according to a predetermined algorithm, to obtain a level list of the STAs; and scheduling and processing to-be-processed data of a corresponding STA according to the level list.

In one aspect, user interaction data are obtained, were the user interaction data specify user interactions for a plurality of conversions. User interactions that are associated with each conversion are selected from the user interaction data, where the associated user interactions for each conversion are user interactions with a converting user during the conversion cycle for the conversion. Using the user interaction data for the selected user interactions, a quantity of user interactions that are associated with each conversion and occurred during the conversion cycle for the conversion are determined. In turn, conversion path performance measures are computed and reports specifying the conversion path performance measures are generated.
