Claim:
1. A method of decoding video data, the method comprising: determining, by a video decoder, a shifted disparity vector by shifting a disparity vector of a current block of the video data horizontally by a first value and vertically by a second value, the first value being equal to two times the width of the current block, and the second value being equal to two times the height of the current block; using, by the video decoder, the shifted disparity vector to generate an inter-view prediction motion vector candidate (IPMVC) indicating motion information of a corresponding block in an inter-view reference picture in a reference view, the corresponding block corresponding to the current block; responsive to determining the IPMVC is unavailable, adding, by the video decoder, a disparity shifted motion vector (DSMV) candidate into a merge candidate list, wherein a horizontal component of the disparity vector is shifted by a third value to derive a motion vector of the DSMV candidate, the third value being equal to 4; determining, by the video decoder, based on an index signaled in a bitstream, a selected merge candidate in the merge candidate list; generating, by the video decoder, a predictive block for the current block using motion information of the selected merge candidate; and adding, by the video decoder, residual data to the predictive block to reconstruct a block of the video data.
