| Summary: | In this paper, we study secure energy efficiency (SEE) for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) in a distributed antenna system (DAS) based IoT network. We consider a system in which both the legitimate user (Bob) and the eavesdropper (Eve) rely on the energy harvested from the received radio signal. Firstly, with perfect channel state information (CSI), we formulate the maximization of SEE as a constrained optimization problem. In this problem, we aim to highlight the advantage of SWIPT in exploiting the Eve’s energy harvesting requirement. This is achieved by defining a charge constraint in the SEE optimization problem which ensures that the Eve is deprived of its only energy source. Next, considering the fact that perfect CSI is hard to achieve in practice, we characterize the system performance in terms of the outage probability (OP) of SEE. For the given SWIPT-in-DAS setup, we derive the closed form expression for the OP of SEE and with the help of numerical results, we study the effect of transmit power levels, number of distributed antenna (DA) ports and the PS ratio of devices. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to define the OP of SEE for SWIPT-in-DAS.
