1. A method of operating a wireless communication network to serve a wireless data service to a wireless User Equipment (UE), the method comprising:
a network controller receiving a service request from the wireless UE and transferring a UE context request to a Unified Data Management (UDM);
the UDM receiving the UE context request, retrieving a subscriber profile for the wireless UE, identifying a wireless service type for the wireless UE, identifying a set of virtual Data Network Names (vDNNs) in the subscriber profile, selecting one of the vDNNs for the wireless UE based on the wireless service type of the wireless UE, and indicating the selected one of the vDNNs to the network controller; and
the network controller receiving the indication, overriding provisioned DNN values using the selected one of the vDNNs, and establishing a wireless data session for the wireless UE based on the selected one of the vDNNs.
