Techniques and systems are provided for coding video data. For example, a method of coding video data includes determining motion information for a current block and determining an illumination compensation status for the current block. The method further includes coding the current block based on the motion information and the illumination compensation status for the current block. In some examples, the method further includes determining the motion information for the current block based on motion information of a candidate block. In such examples, the method further includes determining an illumination compensation status of the candidate block and deriving the illumination compensation status for the current block based on the illumination compensation status of the candidate block.
