When you free run with Debugger, everything would keep working until you pause application or breakpoint is hit.

I would expect MAC ACKs to be received but obviously no replies or higher level processing would be available, however I am not able to confirm this at the moment. You can test this yourself by setting up a CC2530 ZC network, connecting a sleepy ZED, and evaluating what happens when you halt ZC operation in the IAR debugger.

Edit: it was confirmed that MAC ACKs will not be received as well, ergo no radio communication whatsoever.

Ryan

I test,sniffer, no ack reply.

does the test mean "if MCU run delay function or other task/isr delay,the packet will be not received,then the ACK reply will be lost."

If you pause the program, everything would be paused and you won't receive MAC ack.
