Claim:
1. A method for decoding video information of a multi-layer bitstream, comprising: determining whether a candidate inter-layer reference picture is present in the video information, wherein the video information comprises an inter-layer reference picture set (RPS) including a plurality of subsets, the candidate inter-layer reference picture being an inter-layer reference picture which has not yet been placed in an RPS subset; in response to determining that the candidate inter-layer reference picture is not present, determining an inter-layer RPS subset to which the candidate inter-layer reference picture belongs, the determining of the inter-layer RPS subset to which the candidate inter-layer reference picture belongs being based at least in part on a view identifier of the candidate inter-layer reference picture; indicating that no reference picture is present in the inter-layer RPS subset to which the candidate inter-layer reference picture belongs; and decoding the video bitstream based at least in part on the indication that no reference picture is present in the inter-layer RPS subset to which the candidate inter-layer reference picture belongs.
