Historical context information that includes data from communications of one or more mobile devices is collected. The historical context information includes at least one of communication environment, communication parameter estimates, mobile device statistics, mobile device transmit settings, base station receiver settings, past network statistics and settings, and adjacent network node information statistics and settings. A predictive model for network communications is determined based on the historical context information. A communication context for a first mobile device different than the one or more mobile devices is determined. The first device is scheduled and/or network parameters are set based on the determined predictive model. Actual results are compared to expected results and the predictive model is adjusted based on the comparison.
