In this paper, a coordinated multi-point (CoMP) based mmWave communications operating over access links impaired by blockage is considered. By assuming realistic assumptions such as line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight channel components, fading, and random blockage, we propose a tractable analytical framework for mmWave communications. Moreover, the performance of the CoMP-based mmWave communication is evaluated by deriving the distribution of the received signal and presenting closed form expression for outage probability. Simulation results show the correctness of the analytical results and impact of blockage on the reliability of the mmWave communications.
