A method for fabricating a light emitting diode chip is provided. The invention also provides a method of treating fabric by applying thereto the composition of the invention and the use of the aforementioned oily sugar derivatives within a fabric softening composition as a fabric softening aid that does not decrease the absorbency of the fabric. Multiplexing in conjunction with localized and distributed resource scheduling preserves the single-carrier characteristics of a single-carrier frequency division multiple access system. Alternatively, the base station may be further adapted to transmit traffic channel information using a second group of adjacent Walsh codes Wintn2 to Wn2\u2212ln2 or W0n2 to Wintn2.
