Methods and systems may provide for determining quality of service (QoS) information for a job associated with an application, and determining a condition prediction for a wireless channel of a mobile platform. Additionally, the job may be scheduled for communication over the wireless channel based at least in part on the QoS information and the condition prediction. In one example, scheduling the job includes imposing a delay in the communication if the condition prediction indicates that a throughput of the wireless channel is below a threshold and the delay complies with a latency constraint of the QoS information.
