The term "current GOP" can be a bit confusing when we're talking about leading pictures. RADL B pictures require the IDR picture (the first frame of the next GOP) as a reference. But the decoder knows this already, as the NAL unit type of the IDR picture will indicate that leading pictures (from the previous GOP) follow the IDR picture in decode order (it will be an IDR_W_RADL as opposed to an IDR_N_LP - IDR with no leading pictures).

Is there a recommendation on using RADL? Is it something that can be safely used in all fixed-GOP encodes to potentially increase quality?
From the description, it sounds like the fundamental technology could also be used in variable duration Closed GOP as well.
