This paper studies the secrecy energy efficiency (SEE) maximization problem in a full-duplex (FD) bidirectional system, where an FD base station (BS) communicates with an FD user equipment (UE) with the existence of an external user who harvests energy from the ambient radio frequency (RF) signal with SWIPT and acts as a potential eavesdropper. To balance the secrecy rate and the energy efficiency, an SEE maximization problem is formulated subject to the minimum secrecy rate, the maximum transmitted power and the minimum harvested energy. The formulated non-convex problem is solved with a two-layer optimization algorithm, where Dinkelbach method is employed to deal with the fractional programming of the outer problem and a convex approximation method based on Taylor expansion is applied to transfer the inner problem into a convex iterative program. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm and the advantages of FD operation in improving SEE.
