AHG17: On NAL unit header design for VVC
Abstract
This contribution proposes a NAL unit header design for VVC, following the guidance of H.264/SVC and MVC’s syntax. In particular, certain NAL unit types trigger the extension of the NAL unit header from minimal 8 bits to larger (still octet aligned) structures. It is asserted that such a design is a) extensible towards technologies such as SVC and MVC without spending bits or a significant amount of numbering space on “hooks”, b) allows for the conditional presence of syntax elements not found in H.264’s and HEVC’s NAL unit headers, based on application needs, and c) is still lightweight enough to be efficiently implemented in a MANE (and trivially implementable in a decoder).
