Signaling of rectangular slices in the VVC video compression standard

A method includes encoding, by a encoder, a video frame of a versatile-video coding (VVC) video-compression system. The encoder generates/uses tile information associated with a video frame, determines for a slice that the slice is a subset or a superset of a tile based on the tile information, determines slice parameters associated with the slice, and signals the slice parameters associated with the slice. In other aspects, a method may include retrieving, by a decoder of a video-compression system, tile information associated with a video frame, determining, for a slice, that the slice is a subset or a superset of a tile based on the tile information, determining slice parameters associated with the slice, and decoding the video frame using the determined slice parameters.
