Fifth generation (5G) wireless technology is expected to utilize highly directive antennas at millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum to offer higher data rates. However, given the high directivity of antennas and adverse propagation characteristics at mmWave frequencies, these signals are very susceptible to obstacles. One of the important factors that are highly impacted is interference behavior. In fact, signals received from other terminals can be easily blocked or attenuated at the receiver. In addition, higher number of terminals can transmit signals without introducing much interference and hence the traffic behavior, maintained by medium access control (MAC) layer, may change. In this paper, we provide an interference model to evaluate the interference power received at the physical layer of the receiving terminal, considering antenna directivity, effect of obstacles and MAC layer constraints that control the number of terminals transmitting simultaneously. We first develop a blockage model and then derive the Laplace transform of the interference power received at a typical receiving node. Subsequently, using the derived Laplace transform, we evaluate the network error performance using average bit-error-rate (BER). Analytical results are validated via Monte- Carlo simulations.
