1. A method for decoding information for haptic data, the method being performed by at least one processor, the method comprising:
receiving, a bitstream comprising one or more haptic channels;
obtaining, from the bitstream, one or more moving picture experts group (MPEG) immersive haptics stream (MIHS) units for the one or more haptic channels,
wherein a MIHS unit comprises timing information for one or more haptic effects and timing information for one or more haptic bands;
obtaining the timing information for the one or more haptic effects from the one or more MIHS units, the timing information for the one or more haptic effects comprises an offset associated with the one or more haptic effects;
obtaining the timing information for the one or more haptic bands from the one or more MIHS units, the timing information for the one or more haptic bands comprises an offset associated with the one or more haptic bands; and
decoding the bitstream based on the timing information for the one or more haptic effects and the timing information for the one or more haptic bands.
