1. A method of transmitting point cloud data, the method comprising:
encoding the point cloud data,
wherein the encoding includes:
generating levels of detail (LoDs) for the point cloud data,
generating refinement lists including refinement points for the levels of detail,
predicting a point in the refinement lists for a current level of detail by searching a neighboring point,
wherein the point is predicted based on the refinement lists for a reference level of detail which is fewer than a total number of the levels of detail; and
transmitting a bitstream including the point cloud data and signaling information.
