Claim 4:
5. The system of claim 4, wherein the processing the one or more valley segments based on the one or more segment PRFs corresponding to the one or more valley segments, the limit of PRF acceleration, and the minimum duration of an RF PRF includes:
for each of the one or more valley segments,
determining a first sum of a de-acceleration time of the valley segment, an acceleration time of the valley segment, and the minimum duration of an RF PRF;
determining whether the first sum is shorter than a segment time of the valley segment;
in response to a determination that the first sum is shorter than the segment time of the valley segment, retaining the valley segment; and
in response to a determination that the first sum is longer than the segment time of the valley segment, merging the valley segment with a first adjacent segment of the valley adjacent segments by increasing the segment PRF of the valley segment to the segment PRF of the first adjacent segment, the segment PRF of the first adjacent segment being less than the segment RPF of a second adjacent segment of the valley adjacent segments.
