Original Abstract Submitted

A method for video encoding is provided. The method includes: generating, by an encoder, an inter prediction of a current coding block based on an inter prediction mode; generating, by the encoder, an intra prediction of the current coding block based on an intra prediction mode; generating, by the encoder, a final prediction of the current coding block based on the inter prediction and the intra prediction; determining, by the encoder, that a prediction mode of the current coding block is treated as one unified mode when constructing a most probable mode (MPM) list of a neighboring coding block, the unified mode being predefined as an inter mode, or being predefined as an intra mode; and forming, by the encoder, a video bit-stream with information that a combined inter and intra prediction mode is applied to the current coding block.
