 The different code lengths have benefits and drawbacks.
 \begin{itemize}
-	\item Longer codes have lower data rates. But they have a higher processing gain and better noise immunity. Data decoding works in noisy environments with low \ac{SNR}.
-	\item Short codes give a higher data rate. However, the processing gain is less as well as the noise immunity. Data decoding may not work in noisy environments. A proper \ac{SNR} is required.
