OTAA:Over-the-Air Activation.
For over-the-air activation, end-devices must follow a
join procedure prior to participating in data exchanges
with the network server. An end-device has to go
through a new join procedure every time it has lost the
session context information.
ABP: Activation by Personalization.
Under certain circumstances, end-devices can be
activated by personalization. Activation by
personalization directly ties an end-device to a specific
network by-passing the join request - join accept
procedure.
