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 in accordance with channel control parameters. 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 second electromagnetic waves that propagate along the outer surface of the transmission medium. A training controller is configured to generate the channel control parameters based on channel state information received from at least one remote transmission device. Other embodiments are disclosed. 本主题公开内容的各方面可以包括例如传输设备，该传输设备包括被配置成调制数据以根据信道控制参数生成多个第电磁波的至少个收发器。多个耦合器被配置成将所述多个第电磁波的至少部分耦合到传输介质，其中所述多个耦合器生成沿着传输介质的外表面传播的多个第二电磁波。训练控制器被配置为基于从至少个远程传输设备接收的信道状态信息生成信道控制参数。公开了其它实施例。
