Claim Text:
1. A method for decoding video data, the method comprising: identifying an enhancement layer (EL) video unit that neighbors a current video unit in an EL, wherein the EL video unit is associated with neither an intra prediction direction nor motion information; determining first prediction information of a first video unit located in a first lower layer, wherein the first video unit is co-located with respect to the EL video unit, the first prediction information including an intra prediction direction used for intra prediction; determining second prediction information of a second video unit located in a second lower layer that is different from the first lower layer, wherein the second video unit is co-located with respect to the EL video unit, the second prediction information including motion information used for inter prediction; and decoding the current video unit in one of (i) intra mode based on the intra prediction direction included in the first prediction information or (ii) inter mode based on the motion information included in the second prediction information.
