Apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating bandwidth smoothing to effectuate a communication service including the communication of streaming video or other multimedia data component in a radio communication system, such as a cellular communication system. A pattern by-characteristic selection unit selects a trained pattern optimal for the user’s utterance from a plurality of trained patterns that are previously classified and stored every characteristic. RF power delivering circuitry of the laser includes an arrangement for determining and recording the two resonant frequencies. The apparatus includes an alignment plate that has a shoulder to engage the edge of the stiffener frame. Other embodiments are described. The combined frequency error signal is applied to at least one channel phase locked loop.
