Abstract
An electronic device for encoding a picture is described. The electronic device includes a processor and instructions stored in memory that are in electronic communication with the processor. The instructions are executable to encode a step-wise temporal sub-layer access (STSA) sample grouping. The instructions are further executable to send and/or store the STSA sample grouping.

A method for encoding a picture, the method comprising:
- encoding a step-wise temporal sub-layer access (STSA) sample grouping that allows determining when to switch to a new temporal layer based on the STSA sample grouping,
- wherein the STSA sample grouping is a group of STSA samples, the STSA sample grouping comprises a next STSA upswitching distance parameter and a next STSA sample distance parameter, wherein the next STSA upswitching distance parameter is different from the next STSA sample distance parameter, wherein the next STSA sample distance parameter indicates a distance of a next temporal layer switching point in a current temporal layer, wherein the next STSA upswitching distance parameter indicates a distance of a next temporal layer up switching point in a temporal layer higher than the current temporal layer, and wherein a network access layer (NAL) unit type indicates whether a picture is a STSA picture.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- encoding a bitstream including a step-wise temporal sub-layer access (STSA) sample grouping that allows determining when to switch to a new temporal layer,
- wherein the STSA sample grouping is a group of STSA samples, wherein the STSA sample grouping comprises a next STSA upswitching distance parameter and a next STSA sample distance parameter, wherein the next STSA upswitching distance parameter is different from the next STSA sample distance parameter, wherein the next STSA sample distance parameter indicates a distance of a next temporal layer switching point in a current temporal layer, wherein the next STSA upswitching distance parameter indicates a distance of a next temporal layer up switching point in a temporal layer higher than the current temporal layer, and wherein a network access layer (NAL) unit type indicates whether a picture is a STSA picture.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving an audio-visual bitstream;
- obtaining a step-wise temporal sublayer access (STSA) sample grouping;
- decoding the STSA sample grouping;
- and
- determining when to switch to a new temporal layer based on the STSA sample grouping,
- wherein the STSA sample grouping is a group of STSA samples, wherein the STSA sample grouping comprises a next STSA upswitching distance parameter and a next STSA sample distance parameter, wherein the next STSA upswitching distance parameter is different from the next STSA sample distance parameter, wherein the next STSA sample distance parameter indicates a distance of a next temporal layer switching point in a current temporal layer, wherein the next STSA upswitching distance parameter indicates a distance of a next temporal layer up switching point in a temporal layer higher than the current temporal layer, and wherein a network access layer (NAL) unit type indicates whether a picture is a STSA picture.
