The ever-evolving landscape of wireless communication technologies has led to the
development of 5G-NR (5G New Radio) networks [1] promising higher data rates and lower latency. However, with these advancements come challenges in managing intra-cell and inter-cell
interference, particularly during the random-access procedure. This article aims to explore the
impact of UE (User Equipment) and cell configuration parameters on interference and establish
improved interference management strategies. To assess the effectiveness of these strategies,
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as Correct Detection Rate (CDR) will be considered.
Additionally, the Matched Filtering (MF)-Based PRACH (Physical Random-Access CHannel)
detection algorithm [2] will be studied to evaluate the PRACH performance. The findings underscore the critical role of interference management and the configuration of User Equipment
(UE)/Cell parameters in ensuring the robustness and reliability of the NR-PRACH performance
in 5G NR networks. Optimizing these configurations can lead to improved network performance
and enhanced communication quality.
