1. A method implemented by a decoder, the method comprising:
receiving an extracted bitstream comprising a set of sub-pictures, wherein the extracted bitstream is a bitstream extracted from an input bitstream by a sub-bitstream extraction process, and wherein the extracted bitstream comprises only a subset of the sub-pictures of the input bitstream for the sub-bitstream extraction process;
determining a flag in the extracted bitstream, wherein the flag is required to be set to one when the flag is contained in the extracted bitstream to indicate sub-picture information relating to the subset of the sub-pictures is present in the extracted bitstream, and wherein the flag is derived from a Sequence Parameter Set (SPS) in the extracted bitstream;
obtaining one or more sub-picture Identifiers (IDs) of the subset of the sub-pictures based on the flag; and
decoding the subset of the sub-pictures according to the sub-picture IDs.
