A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for point cloud coefficient coding are provided. Transform coefficients associated with point cloud data are decomposed into set-index values and symbol-index values, the symbol index-value specifying location of the transform coefficient within a set. The decomposed transform coefficients are partitioned into one or more sets based on the set-index values and the symbol-index values. The set-index values of the partitioned transform coefficients are entropy-coded, and the symbol-index values of the partitioned transform coefficients are bypass-coded. The point cloud data is compressed based on the entropy-coded symbol-index values and the bypass-coded set-index values.
