Apparatus, and an associated method, for a radio communication system. Asymmetrically positioned downlink data transmitting stations and uplink data receiving stations are positioned defining downlink service areas and uplink service areas. A mobile terminal, when positioned in the downlink service area, is able to receive high speed downlink data. And, when the mobile terminal is stationed within an uplink service area, the mobile terminal is capable of sending data at high data rates to an uplink receiving station.
