1. A method for decoding a video signal comprising a coding block by a decoding apparatus, the method comprising:

  • obtaining, by the decoding apparatus, a plurality of prediction blocks being partitioned from the coding block;

    obtaining, by the decoding apparatus, merge flag information of a prediction block of the plurality of prediction blocks from the video signal;

    obtaining, by the decoding apparatus, merge index information of the prediction block from the video signal, based on the merge flag information indicating that prediction information of the prediction block is determined by prediction information of one of neighboring prediction blocks adjacent to the prediction block; and

    decoding, by the decoding apparatus, the prediction block based on prediction information of a neighboring prediction block indicated by the merge index information from among the neighboring prediction blocks,wherein, based on the coding block being partitioned into two prediction blocks, a left or top neighboring prediction block is not included in the neighboring prediction blocks.
