Claim One:
1. A method of coding video data, the method comprising: comparing an inter-view predicted motion vector candidate (IPMVC) to a motion vector inheritance (MVI) candidate, wherein the IPMVC and the MVI candidate are each associated with a block of video data in a dependent depth view, wherein the MVI candidate associated with the block in the dependent depth view reuses one or more motion vectors and one or more reference indices corresponding to the one or more motion vectors available from a block of video data in a texture view that corresponds to the block of video data in the dependent depth view, and wherein the IPMVC is generated from a block of video data in a reference depth view that corresponds to the block of video data in the dependent depth view; and performing one of: adding the IPMVC to a merge candidate list based on the IPMVC being different from the MVI candidate, or omitting the IPMVC from the merge candidate list based on the IPMVC being identical to the MVI candidate, wherein the merge candidate list includes a plurality of motion parameters associated with one or more neighboring blocks of the block of video data in the dependent depth view.
