1. A method implemented by a decoder, the method comprising:
receiving a bitstream comprising a hypothetical reference decoder (HRD) parameters syntax structure and one or more layers of coded pictures such that all of the layers are associated with a same number of coded picture buffer (CPB) delivery schedules as specified by the HRD parameters syntax structure, wherein each of the CPB delivery schedules is described by a network abstraction layer (NAL) initial CPB removal delay (nal_initial_cpb_removal_delay) and a NAL initial CPB removal offset (nal_initial_cpb_removal_offset), and wherein each layer is associated with a buffering period (BP) CPB count minus1 (bp_cpb_cnt_minus1) plus one that specifies a number of nal_initial_cpb_removal_delay and nal_initial_cpb_removal_offset pairs for each layer, and wherein bp_cpb_cnt_minus1 is equal to a value of hrd_cpb_cnt_minus1; and
decoding a picture from one of the layers to obtain a decoded picture.
