Original Abstract Submitted

a method of decoding is provided. the method includes receiving a video bitstream including a plurality of layers having sublayers and a video parameter set (vps) including a first flag having a first value, wherein the first flag having the first value specifies that temporal identifiers (ids) of a highest sublayer representation for level information, decoded picture buffer (dpb) parameters, and hypothetical decoder refresh (hrd) parameters are not present in the vps and are inferred to be equal to a maximum number of the sublayers that may be present in a layer of the plurality of layers specified by the vps; obtaining the level information, the hrd parameters, and the dpb parameters corresponding to the temporal id of the highest sublayer representation from the vps; and decoding a picture from one of the plurality of layers to obtain a decoded picture. a corresponding method of encoding is also provided.
