Claim 16:
17. A method of rapid frequency cycling during electrical stimulation, the method comprising:
determining, by a controller of an electrical stimulation system, a plurality of frequency band groupings of discrete frequency bands of an electrical stimulation signal, wherein the electrical stimulation signal has a frequency range, wherein each of the frequency band groupings of the plurality of frequency band groupings includes at least one of the discrete frequency bands, wherein at least one of a corresponding current amplitude or a corresponding voltage amplitude of the electrical stimulation signal is independently tuned within each of the discrete frequency bands based on feedback received from a patient;
determining, by the controller, a corresponding duration of delivery of the electrical stimulation signal within each of the frequency band groupings;
determining, by the controller, a random electrical configuration of an electrode array of the electrical stimulation system by randomly selecting a first set of electrical contacts of the electrode array to operate as cathodes and a second set of electrical contacts of the electrode array, different from the first set of electrical contacts, to operate as anodes;
determining, by the controller, a random sequence of the frequency band groupings;
generating, by at least one signal generator controlled by the controller, the electrical stimulation signal according to the determined random sequence of the frequency band groupings and the determined corresponding duration of delivery of the electrical stimulation signal within each frequency band grouping; and
delivering the generated electrical stimulation signal through the electrode array to the patient using the random electrical configuration of the electrode array to provide therapy to the patient.
