Claim 13:
14. A method comprising:
receiving, by a computing device, an encoded bitstream;
decoding, by the computing device, a first block in a spatial region using a first block tree pattern that defines a structure of splitting the first block into smaller blocks;
selecting, by the computing device, a second block for decoding;
determining, by the computing device, information for the second block in the encoded bitstream that indicates a location of the first block inside the spatial region, wherein the spatial region includes a plurality of blocks and the location is based on the first block being one of the plurality of blocks in the spatial region, and wherein the encoded bitstream does not include a bit string of bits for a second block tree pattern of the second block;
retrieving, by the computing device, the bit string of bits for the first block tree pattern using the location, wherein the first block tree pattern is to be used to decode the second block from the encoded bitstream; and
decoding, by the computing device, the second block using the first block tree pattern.
