As we know in Mobile Ad hoc network our Nodes are highly mobile. They move around the Network. Due to this network topology and number of neighboring nodes in each node frequently change. Movement of nodes from one to another network also affect to the communication between them. As we know if nodes are within the range of each other they will work properly. But any of one node is not in the range of other node communication will Break. As the number of nodes increases interference and complexity of MANET increases in various issues. For this reason various approaches has been produced to reduce the complexity such as cluster head technique and dominating set based gateway technique introduced. We remove the limitation from the above mentioned approaches using Cluster Head Gateway node (CHG) [1]. In this paper we introduces the selection of Antenna in such a way that if CHG nodes want to send the data to other (CHG or Cluster Nodes) then how the communication will takes place with minimum interference and High QoS. By selecting the appropriate antenna we will reduce the interference and overhead [2], try to re-establish the break link between nodes and increase the performance, throughput and QoS for an ad hoc network and also prevent packet drops during Nodes mobility when data transaction going on between nodes. Finally, this paper conducts simulation experiments in the conditions where we will do the comparative study between Omni-Directional and Directional Antenna.
