Abstract: The invention regards a method, a system and a package for payment and granting of postage rate for an item of mailing (10) through at least one of a network for data- and telecommunication. The item of mailing (10) is marked up with a telephone number (12) belonging to the mailer, and the mailer calls a pre-determined telephone number (14) to the distributor of items of mailing (10), thus through the pre-determined telephone number (14) confirming postage rate and payment of an item of mailing (10) at the distributor of mail.

Abstract: A method and apparatus in a system comprising cordless telecommunication utilize fuzzy-logic to evaluate at least two radio communication parameters when making a handoff decision, or to produce basic data on which a handoff decision can be made. The parameters are assigned membership to at least two input data sets, each having its own membership function. The parameters are divided into groups and a rule table of fuzzy-condition statements is formed. The fuzzy-condition statements are executed and the consequences weighted to a crisp-value which is used in conjunction with handoff. The inventive apparatus includes a fuzzy-processing unit for grouping parameters and executing rules, a unit for determining the crisp-values, for instance the average value, maximum value and/or the minimum value of rule consequences, and an evaluating unit which uses the crisp-values in conjunction with establishing a candidate list or in making a handoff decision.
