Fiber-Wireless (Fi-Wi) is proposed as a hybrid access network (e.g. PON) with wireless access network (e.g. WMN) to provide high bandwidth, cost effective, and last mile internet access. It is powerful hybrid architecture of optimal backend and wireless front-end to support high data rates and throughput with minimum delay. This paper involves different types of optimizing algorithms which help in solving different issues arises in the Fi-Wi network which affect the cost, performance, throughput etc. of network. Simultaneously we aim to provide an idea to implement another optimizing algorithm in Fiber Wireless (FiWi) access network named as ANT COLONY ALGORITHM (ACO). ACO allows us to optimize the number ONUs, which ultimately results in cost optimization, and fault detection which improves the system capability of handling with faults & failures.
