Claim 7:
8. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
memory storing instructions that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
determining whether to partition a current block of video data into a plurality of sub-blocks;
determining an intra-prediction mode for the current block; and
when the current block is partitioned into the plurality of sub-blocks, performing intra-prediction on each of the sub-blocks, based on the intra-prediction mode,
wherein whether to encode a flag indicating whether to partition the current block into the plurality of sub-blocks into a bitstream is determined based on whether a size of the current block is smaller than a threshold, and
wherein when the size of the current block is smaller than the threshold, the encoding of the flag is omitted and it is determined that the current block is not partitioned into the plurality of sub-blocks.
