1. A method of coding video data, the method comprising: comparing an inter-view predicted motion vector candidate (IPMVC) to a motion vector inheritance (MVI) candidate, wherein the IPMVC and the MVI candidate are each associated with a block of video data in a dependent depth view, and wherein the IPMVC is generated from a corresponding block of video data in a base depth view; and performing one of adding the IPMVC to a merge candidate list based on the IPMVC being different from the MVI candidate, or omitting the IPMVC from the merge candidate list based on the IPMVC being identical to the MVI candidate.
