1. A method of operating a wireless communication network to serve a User Equipment (UE) over an optimal wireless network slice for a user application, the method comprising:
a network control-plane receiving a download message when the UE downloads the user application that indicates a UE Identifier (ID) for the UE and an application ID for the user application;
the network control-plane selecting a slice ID for the optimal network slice based on the application ID for the user application;
the network control-plane transferring a slice message to the UE that indicates the application ID and the slice ID; and
a network user-plane exchanging application data for the user application with the UE and processing the application data with the optimal wireless network slice.
