Methods and systems are disclosed for joint scheduling of wireless and video activities. Video data may be accessed to estimate an encoding time interval for the video data, identify a per-frame display duration for the video data, and to define a non-encoding time interval. A schedule may be generated for a set of network-calibration events that indicates, for each network-calibration event of the set of network-calibration events. Streaming of the video data to a display device may be initiated such that for each frame of a set of frames represented in the video data: the frame is encoded, transmitted, and the set of network-calibration events is initiated according to the schedule. Each of the network-calibration event being configured to be initiated during a non-encoding time interval during which none of the set of frames are being encoded.
