Abstract:
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device that facilitates transmitting electromagnetic waves along a surface of a transmission medium without requiring an electrical return path that facilitates delivery of electric energy to devices, and sensing a condition that is adverse to the electromagnetic waves propagating along the surface of the transmission medium. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Claim (Index 18):
A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:\n inducing, by a dielectric coupler of a waveguide system, electromagnetic waves onto a transmission medium, wherein the dielectric coupler is positioned with respect to a surface of the transmission medium and responds to source electromagnetic waves that propagate along the dielectric coupler by facilitating transmission of electromagnetic waves that propagate along the transmission medium without requiring an electrical circuit, wherein the electromagnetic waves are converted by an antenna to wireless signals; and collecting sensing data from a sensor, wherein the sensing data indicates an adverse condition affecting propagation of the electromagnetic waves along the transmission medium.
