US Patent 11979610 Signaling in transform skip mode

Devices, systems and methods for coefficient coding in transform skip mode are described. An exemplary method for visual media processing includes: for encoding a current video block in a video region of a visual media data into a bitstream representation of the visual media data, identifying usage of a coding mode and/or an intra prediction mode and/or a set of allowable intra prediction modes; and upon identifying the usage, making a decision of whether to include or exclude, in the bitstream representation, a syntax element indicative of selectively applying a transform skip mode to the current video block, wherein, in the transform skip mode, a residual of a prediction error between the current video block and a reference video block is represented in the bitstream representation of the visual media data without applying a transformation.
