Abstract:
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a transmission device that includes at least one transceiver configured to modulate data to generate a plurality of first electromagnetic waves. A plurality of couplers are configured to couple at least a portion of the plurality of first electromagnetic waves to a transmission medium, wherein the plurality of couplers generate a plurality of mode division multiplexed second electromagnetic waves that propagate along the outer surface of the transmission medium. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Claim (Index 1):
A system comprising:\n a first coupler configured to generate first electromagnetic waves conveying first data on a transmission medium, wherein the first electromagnetic waves propagate along the transmission medium without requiring an electrical return path, wherein the first electromagnetic waves have a first electromagnetic field pattern with a plurality of lobes at a first azimuthal orientation to a longitudinal axis of the transmission medium; and a second coupler configured to receive second electromagnetic waves conveying second data from the transmission medium wherein the second electromagnetic waves have a second electromagnetic field pattern with a plurality of lobes at a second azimuthal orientation to the longitudinal axis of the transmission medium and wherein the second electromagnetic waves propagate along the transmission medium without requiring an electrical return path.
