The capacity of wireless networks is fundamentally limited by interference. A few research has focused on the study of the simultaneous effect of interference and correlation, and less attention has been paid to the topic of canceling simultaneous effect of interference and correlation until recently. This paper considers a secure wireless multicasting scenario through multicellular networks over spatially correlated Nakagami-m fading channel in the presence of multiple eavesdroppers. Authors are interested to protect the desired signals from eavesdropping considering the impact of perfect channel estimation (PCE) with interference and correlation. The protection of eavesdropping is also made strong reducing the simultaneous impact of interference and correlation on the secrecy multicast capacity employing opportunistic relaying technique. In terms of the signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR), fading parameter, correlation coefficient, the number of multicast users and eavesdroppers and the number of antennas at the multicast users and eavesdroppers, the closed-form analytical expressions are derived for the probability of non-zero secrecy multicast capacity and the secure outage probability for multicasting to understand the insight of the effects of aforementioned parameters. The results show that the simultaneous effects of correlation and interference at the multicast users degrade security in multicasting. Moreover, the security in multicasting degrades with the intensity of fading and the number of multicast users, eavesdroppers and antennas at the eavesdroppers. The effects of these parameters on the security in multicasting can be significantly reduced by using opportunistic relaying technique with PCE. Finally, the analytical results are verified via Monte-Carlo simulation to justify the validity of derived closed-form analytical expressions.
