Claim 1:
2. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a bitstream and computer executable instructions, which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to transmit the bitstream via a network, the bitstream being generated by the computer by performing the steps of:
partitioning an image into tiles and slices; and
coding the tiles and slices,
wherein each of the slices is either a normal slice or a dependent slice,
wherein the normal slice is coded without referring to an another slice and has, in a header, information that is required to decode the slice, and can be used for an another slice,
wherein the dependent slice is decoded using information included in a slice header of another slice, and
wherein (i) a tile does not include a normal slice starting from a position other than a beginning of the tile or (ii) when a first tile includes a normal slice starting from a position other than a beginning of the first tile, a second tile coded next to the first tile includes a normal slice starting from a beginning of the second tile.
