In-channel signaling is also often referred to as in-band signaling. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signalling_(telecommunications)#In-Band_versus_Out-Of-Band and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-band_signaling.
The signaling used to establish and tear down a phone call was located in the same physical communication channel used to carry the call (i.e voice, fax or modem) traffic, and used DTMF tones. Examples are CCITT Signaling Systems 1-5 R1 & R2. Most books on SS7 should talk briefly about this.
SS6 & SS7 moved to take the signaling out-of band, and to establish a common channel for all signaling in digital packet-based format (non-tone based) allowing one signaling channel to control a large number of "voice" circuits.
Channel-associated signaling (CAS) is a form of signaling used in telecommunications systems where signaling information is transmitted on the same channel as the voice data. This contrasts with common-channel signaling where a separate signaling channel is used. CAS is simpler and more widely supported in legacy systems, but it can be less efficient and flexible compared to common-channel signaling.
In-Band Signaling (IBS)
A connection between two exchanges connection
In telephony, signaling is the exchange of information between involved points in the network that sets up, controls, and terminates each telephone call. In in-band signaling , the signaling is on the same channel as the telephone call. In out-of-band signaling , signaling is on separate channels dedicated for the purpose.

Ion channel receptors. These receptors allow specific ions to flow through a channel when activated by a signaling molecule, resulting in a change in ion distribution across the membrane and altering the membrane potential.
non associated signaling quasi-associated signaling circuit related signaling non-circuit-related signaling
is the set of standard rules for data representation, signaling, authentication and error detection required to send information over a communications channel
A channel is a pathway through which ions or molecules can flow across a cell membrane, facilitating cellular communication. On the other hand, a receptor is a protein that binds to specific signaling molecules such as hormones or neurotransmitters, triggering a cellular response. Channels regulate the movement of substances, while receptors initiate signaling cascades within the cell.
By using a D channel on another PRI across the same user network interface
D (Delta channel) carries control and signaling traffic. B (Bearer channel) carries the actual data and/or voice traffic. A U.S. PRI consists of 23 Bearer channels and 1 Delta channel for a total of 24 channels per PRI.
