US Patent 11184633 Simplification of history-based motion vector prediction

A method of coding video data, including constructing a history-based motion vector prediction (HMVP) candidate history table that includes motion vector information of previously coded blocks that extend beyond adjacent neighboring blocks of a current block, constructing a motion vector predictor list, and adding one or more HMVP candidates from the HMVP candidate history table to the motion vector predictor list. Adding the one or more HMVP candidates from the HMVP candidate history table comprises comparing a first HMVP candidate in the HMVP candidate history table to two entries in the motion vector predictor list and no other entries, and adding the first HMVP candidate to the motion vector predictor list when the first HMVP candidate is different than both of the two entries in the motion vector predictor list. The method also includes coding the current block of video data using the motion vector predictor list.
