Abstract: A method of coding implemented by a decoding device. The method includes receiving a bitstream containing a picture from an encoding device, dividing the picture into coding tree units (CTUs), partitioning one of the CTUs into first sub-blocks using quad-tree (QT) partitioning, and partitioning the first sub-blocks into second sub-blocks using a first type of partitioning (e.g., BT or TT). Thereafter, partitioning of the second sub-blocks is restricted to only the first type of partitioning. An image generated using the one of the CTUs as partitioned is displayed on a display of an electronic device.
