In this paper, without any priori assumption about the post-measurement state of system, we will examine how this state is restricted by assuming each of these following assumptions. First, by using this reasonable assumption that two successive measurements should be describable as one measurement. Second, by assuming the impossibility of faster than light signaling, "No-signaling condition". However, only by using these assumptions it is not possible to obtain the usual projection postulate. Instead, by means of a simple lemma, we will show that the density operator of system after a measurement is a linear function of the density operator determined by the usual post-measurement postulate. Furthermore we will show this linear function has a Kraus representation. Finally, we will discuss about the physical meaning of this consequence.
