1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a waveguide system, electromagnetic waves guided by an outer surface of a transmission medium without utilizing an electrical return path, the electromagnetic waves having a non-optical frequency range;
detecting, by the waveguide system, an attenuation of the electromagnetic waves; and
coordinating, by the waveguide system with a neighboring waveguide system, an adjustment of an orientation of at least a portion of electric fields of the electromagnetic waves to mitigate the attenuation.
