1. A method of selecting a number of channels out of a multiplicity of channels of an implantable neural stimulation system for stimulation during a stimulation frame, said method comprising:

  • obtaining a threshold corresponding to said stimulation frame;

    using said threshold to determine an adjusted amplitude corresponding to one or more channels within said multiplicity of channels;

    using said adjusted amplitudes to determine a probability for each of said one or more channels within said multiplicity of channels;

    providing a random number for each of said one or more channels within said multiplicity of channels; and

    selecting a number of channels within said one or more channels for stimulation during said stimulation frame;

    wherein each of said selected number of channels has a probability that is greater than said random number.
