Massive Machine-type Communication (mMTC) is one of the main service scenarios in 5G. At the time of initializing the connection to the base station, the MTC machines will make a connection request via the random access procedure. One of the schemes of random access procedure for handling this connection request is similar to how multichannel slotted ALOHA works. Multichannel slotted ALOHA itself is a development of the slotted ALOHA scheme which originally has only a single channel. At the initial state of mMTC, there will be an explosion of the number of demands to the available channels. Given the number of machines that will be connected, the likelihood of a collision on the same channel increases. As a result, the probability of failure also increases. The system's configuration has an impact on the likelihood of success and the time it takes to achieve it. The number of channels influences the likelihood of collisions, the backoff window influences the transmission distribution in each slot, and the maximum transmission limits the ability of device retransmission. These three arrangements have an impact on one another. The simulator build in this research is expected to make it easier for researchers to optimize multichannel slotted ALOHA configurations in 5G to handle the surge in access demands from mMTC devices.
