In this paper a particular combination rule based on specified fuzzy TConorm/ T-Norm operators is proposed and analysed - TCN Rule of Combination. It does not belong to the general Weighted Operator Class. The nice features of the new rule could be defined as: very easy to implement, satisfying the impact of neutrality of Vacuous Belief Assignment; commutative, convergent to idempotence, reflecting majority opinion, assuring an adequate data processing in case of total conflict. Several numerical examples and comparisons with the new advanced Proportional Conflict Redistribution Rules proposed recently by Florentin Smarandache and Jean Dezert within their theory of plausible and paradoxical reasoning are presented.
