1. A method comprising:
- determining an amplitude of a multiplicity of stimulation signals each corresponding to a channel within a multiplicity of channels in an implantable stimulation system;
using said amplitudes of said stimulation signals to determine a probability of each of said stimulation signals; and
using said probabilities of one or more of said stimulation signals to randomly select a predetermined number of channels from said multiplicity of channels through which one or more of said stimulation signals are applied to a patient during a stimulation frame.

Abstract
Methods of selecting a number of channels for stimulation within a neural stimulation system include determining an amplitude of a multiplicity of stimulation signals each corresponding to a channel within a multiplicity of channels in the implantable stimulation system, using the amplitudes of the stimulation signals to determine a probability of each of the stimulation signals, and using the probabilities of one or more of the stimulation signals to randomly select a predetermined number of channels from the multiplicity of channels through which one or more of the stimulation signals are applied to a patient during a stimulation frame.
