A video decoder receives a value for a first syntax element representing whether a dependency type syntax element for a current layer is signaled, wherein the dependency type syntax element identifies a type of dependency of a current layer relative to a reference layer; and in response to the value for the first syntax element indicating that the dependency type syntax element is not signaled determines that the type of dependency of the current layer relative to the reference layer is a predetermined type and decodes a block of the current layer using inter-layer prediction conforming to the predetermined type.
