1. A controller device, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
receiving condition information regarding operating conditions associated with different access point devices that are part of a communication network employing a relativistic routing protocol, the communication network comprising router agent devices respectively connected to the different access point devices that communicatively couple the different access point devices to a server device via respective communication links to a router device;
determining, based on the operating condition information, an assignment of the different access point devices to mobile devices for usage as serving nodes for the mobile devices; and
controlling setting of latency requirements of the respective communication links for the mobile devices based on the assignment, wherein the controlling comprises instructing the router agent devices regarding uplink and downlink latency specifications applicable to the respective communication links for the mobile devices based on the assignment.
