We consider wireless multicast tree construction for energy efficiency. We introduce a novel algorithm, Incremental Shortest Path Tree (ISPT), to generate source-based multicast trees and analyse its performance. Additionally, the potential of further improvements in the tree construction is addressed comparing the performance of the algorithm with the results from a simulated annealing optimisation.
