Abstract:
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a system for detecting an accumulation of a liquid on a transmission medium that may interfere with the propagation of guided electromagnetic waves on a surface of the transmission medium, and directing a device to remove at least a portion of the liquid accumulating on the surface of the transmission medium to mitigate the interference. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Claim (Index 1):
A method, comprising:\n detecting, by a processing system comprising a processor, an accumulation of a substance on a physical transmission medium, wherein the physical transmission medium facilitates transmitting or receiving electromagnetic waves that propagate along the physical transmission medium, wherein the accumulation of the substance has an adverse effect on the propagation of the electromagnetic waves along the physical transmission medium, and wherein the electromagnetic waves propagate along the physical transmission medium without requiring an electrical return path; and enabling, by the processing system, a device to remove a portion of the accumulation of the substance on the physical transmission medium.
