  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 legitimate users
(Bobs) and eavesdroppers (Eves) have power splitting (PS) receivers to
simultaneously decode information and harvest energy from the received signal.
When the channel state information (CSI) is known at the transmitter, we
analyze the effect of an energy harvesting eavesdropper (EHE) over the
maximization of SEE of the system. Next, considering the fact that perfect CSI
is hard to achieve in practice, we characterize the system performance in terms
of the outage probability of SEE. For the given SWIPT-in-DAS setup, we derive
the closed form expression for the outage probability 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 outage probability of SEE
for SWIPT-in-DAS.
