US Patent 11431964 Coordination method for sub-block based inter prediction

Devices, systems and methods for digital video coding, which include sub-block based inter prediction methods, are described. An exemplary method for video processing includes determining, for a conversion between a current block of video and a bitstream representation of the video, a maximum number of candidates in a sub-block based merge candidate list and/or whether to add sub-block based temporal motion vector prediction (SbTMVP) candidates to the sub-block based merge candidate list based on whether temporal motion vector prediction (TMVP) is enabled for use during the conversion or whether a current picture referencing (CPR) coding mode is used for the conversion, and performing, based on the determining, the conversion.
