1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a processing system including a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;
receiving telemetry information from a waveguide system comprising a dielectric coupler, wherein the dielectric coupler facilitates transmission, by the waveguide system, of first electromagnetic waves that propagate along the dielectric coupler without requiring an electrical circuit, and wherein the dielectric coupler couples the first electromagnetic waves to a transmission medium coupled to the waveguide system to generate second electromagnetic waves; and
detecting from the telemetry information a condition that is adverse to propagation of the second electromagnetic waves along the transmission medium.

Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a system for receiving telemetry information from an apparatus that induces electromagnetic waves on a wire surface of a wire of a power grid for delivery of communication signals to a recipient communication device coupled to the power grid, and detecting a condition from the telemetry information that is adverse to a delivery of the communication signals to the recipient communication device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

17. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a network element comprising a processing system including a processor, telemetry data generated by a waveguide system comprising a dielectric coupler, the dielectric coupler facilitating reception of first electromagnetic waves that propagate along the dielectric coupler without requiring an electrical circuit, the first electromagnetic waves generated from second electromagnetic waves propagating on a transmission medium coupled to the dielectric coupler; determining, by the network element, from the telemetry data a condition adverse to an operation of the waveguide system; and transmitting, by the network element, instructions to the waveguide system to adjust a route of the second electromagnetic waves to mitigate the condition. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
