1. A method comprising:

  • determining an amplitude of each of a multiplicity of stimulation signals each corresponding to a distinct channel included in an implantable stimulation system;

    using said amplitudes of said stimulation signals to determine a plurality of probabilities, each probability within said plurality of probabilities corresponding to a different stimulation signal within said multiplicity of stimulation signals;

    obtaining a plurality of random numbers, each random number within said plurality of random numbers corresponding to a different stimulation signal within said multiplicity of stimulation signals;

    identifying each stimulation signal included in the multiplicity of stimulation signals that has a corresponding probability greater than a corresponding random number;

    selecting the identified stimulation signals to be applied to a patient during a stimulation frame; and

    applying the selected stimulation signals to the patient during the stimulation frame through a subset of a total number of channels in the implantable stimulation system.
