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 15):
A device, comprising:\n a sensor that facilitates a detection of an accumulation of a substance on a physical transmission medium; and a processor coupled to a memory that facilitates storage of executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:\n detecting the accumulation of the substance according to data provided by the sensor; and \n initiating a removal of at least a portion of the accumulation of the substance on the physical transmission medium, wherein the physical transmission medium facilitates transmitting or receiving electromagnetic waves that propagate along the physical transmission medium without requiring an electrical return path, and wherein the at least the portion of the accumulation of the substance has an adverse effect on the propagation of the electromagnetic waves along the physical transmission medium.
