A method of decoding a point cloud comprises: reconstructing a position of a point of the point cloud; determining a quantized attribute value for the point; deriving a quantization parameter (QP) bit depth offset for the point; deriving a QP range for the point based on the QP bit depth offset for the point; determining a quantization step size for the point based on the QP range for the point; and inverse quantizing the quantized attribute value for the point based on the quantization step size for the point.
