US Patent 11843726 Signaling of decoded picture buffer parameters in layered video

A method of video processing includes performing a conversion between a video and a bitstream of the video. The bitstream includes one or more output layer sets each including one or more video layers. The bitstream conforms to a format rule, wherein the format rule specifies that a number of decoded picture buffer parameter syntax structures included in a video parameter set for the bitstream is equal to: zero, in a case that each output layer set includes a single video layer; or one plus a value of a syntax element, in a case that each output layer set includes a single layer is not true.
