@malachib it is just sending. As I use ABP I don't have to wait for an acknowledge from the gateway.
Using ABP do not means that node will not waiting for a possible ACK from the Gateway. Both, ABP and OTAA always waiting a time (are two DOWNLINK slot times) after sending data, for a possible ACK from the gateway, that is standard. The difference is that OTAA needs an authentication (that will use a DOWNLINK too) before to sent any data, ABP doens't.
You are missing different things.
First, Gateway never send ACK, it is done by the LoRaWAN Network Server when requested by the device.
ABP and OTAA are activation modes and handling encryption keys. ABP itself doesn't generate any air traffic, keys exchanged out of LoRaWAN. OTAA is a way to generate keys but it has nothing to do with authentication.
Whether node will wait for downlink and when is independent of activation mode, it depends on Devics Class 'A' or 'C', 'B' is not supported by PyCom and most of other devices.
