 In today's accelerated growth of mobile device technology, resource utilization in access network will continue to draw more attention to the increasing mobile user devices and applications. The main objective is to address the issue of QoS resource utilization efficiency. This paper combines the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm and the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm to provide the optimum routing and to improve the QoS resource utilization efficiency. This proposed hybrid ACO-PSO algorithm uses the IEEE 802.11 DCF standard with multi-antenna scheme (MIMO) of Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) to apply into integrated wireless (MANET) optical (PON network) based in Software Defined Network (SDN) with cloud computing. IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) gives the opportunity to its users to practice the wireless environment and full functionality of "anything, anytime, anywhere" concept. The proposed work is implemented using the OMNeT++ software where it investigates the QoS performance. These metrics include all nodes throughput, bandwidth, and load balance, routing and control overhead improvement with reduction. They also comprise of RSSI, end to end delay, Packet Delivery Ratio, network capacity, packet loss probability, as well as power consumption in all wireless nodes and energy consumption from wireless domain to wired domain. © 2020 IOP Publishing Ltd.
