Abstract

Disclosed are techniques for scalable, multiview, and multiple descriptive video coding using an improved Network Adaptation Layer (NAL) unit header. A NAL unit header can include a layer-id that can be a reference into a table of layer descriptions, which specify the properties of the layer. The improved NAL unit header can further include fields for reference picture management and to identify temporal layers.
