Claim:
1. A method of decoding video data, the method comprising: storing a plurality of decoding units associated with an access unit of the video data in a picture buffer, each decoding unit of the plurality being a subset of the access unit, and each decoding unit of the plurality comprising at least one video coding layer (VCL) network abstraction layer (NAL) unit of the access unit and any non-VCL NAL unit that is associated with the at least one VCL NAL unit; obtaining a respective buffer removal time for each stored decoding unit of the plurality of stored decoding units, wherein obtaining the respective buffer removal time for a respective stored decoding unit comprises receiving respective signaled information indicative of the respective buffer removal time for the respective stored decoding unit; removing the plurality of stored decoding units from the picture buffer in accordance with the obtained buffer removal times; and coding the video data corresponding to the plurality of removed decoding units, wherein coding the video data comprises decoding the plurality of removed decoding units.
