Abstract: Highlights•Proposing a PSO Algorithm to Minimize Message Broadcasting Energy in Wireless Sensor Networks Using Directional Antennas.•Energy consumption of this centralized algorithm is better than the previous ones for 20-nodes instances.•Designing SA, GA, TLBO and HA algorithms on this problem. (Minimize Message Broadcasting Energy in Wireless Sensor Networks Using Directional Antennas).•Comparing the result of all these algorithms with the result of ACO algorithm in terms of time and energy consumption.•In terms of energy, GA, PSO and HS methods are better than other three meta-heuristic algorithms in 20-node networks, but not in terms of running time.
