A method of decoding video data, the method comprising: obtaining, from a coded bitstream, a syntax element specifying a number of dependent layers associated with a given layer, the dependent layers associated with the given layer being layers available to be used to decode the given layer; for each respective dependent layer of the dependent layers associated with the given layer: obtaining, from the coded bitstream, first and second syntax elements for the respective dependent layer, the first syntax element for the respective dependent layer specifying a layer index of the respective dependent layer, the second syntax element for the respective dependent layer indicating which one of the following types of prediction is usable with the respective dependent layer for the given layer: i) inter-layer texture prediction but not another type of inter-layer prediction other than inter-layer texture prediction such as inter-layer motion prediction, ii) a type of inter-layer prediction such as inter-layer motion prediction but not inter-layer texture prediction, or iii) inter-layer texture prediction and another type of inter-layer prediction such as inter-layer motion prediction; constructing a reference picture set that includes an inter-layer reference picture set for the given layer, wherein the dependent layers associated with the given layer include a particular dependent layer, wherein the inter-layer reference picture set for the given layer includes the particular dependent layer if the second syntax element for the particular dependent layer indicates that inter-layer texture prediction is usable with the particular dependent layer for the given layer, and wherein the inter-layer reference picture set for the given layer does not include the particular dependent layer if the second syntax element for the particular dependent layer indicates that inter-layer texture prediction is not useable with the particular dependent layer for the given layer; and using a reference picture in the reference picture set for inter-layer prediction of a coded picture of the video data. obtaining, from a coded bitstream, a syntax element specifying a number of dependent layers associated with a given layer, the dependent layers associated with the given layer being layers available to be used to decode the given layer; for each respective dependent layer of the dependent layers associated with the given layer: obtaining, from the coded bitstream, first and second syntax elements for the respective dependent layer, the first syntax element for the respective dependent layer specifying a layer index of the respective dependent layer, the second syntax element for the respective dependent layer indicating which one of the following types of prediction is usable with the respective dependent layer for the given layer: i) inter-layer texture prediction but not another type of inter-layer prediction other than inter-layer texture prediction such as inter-layer motion prediction, ii) a type of inter-layer prediction such as inter-layer motion prediction but not inter-layer texture prediction, or iii) inter-layer texture prediction and another type of inter-layer prediction such as inter-layer motion prediction; constructing a reference picture set that includes an inter-layer reference picture set for the given layer, wherein the dependent layers associated with the given layer include a particular dependent layer, wherein the inter-layer reference picture set for the given layer includes the particular dependent layer if the second syntax element for the particular dependent layer indicates that inter-layer texture prediction is usable with the particular dependent layer for the given layer, and wherein the inter-layer reference picture set for the given layer does not include the particular dependent layer if the second syntax element for the particular dependent layer indicates that inter-layer texture prediction is not useable with the particular dependent layer for the given layer; and using a reference picture in the reference picture set for inter-layer prediction of a coded picture of the video data.
