In this paper, we propose a two-way secure communication scheme where two
transceivers exchange confidential messages via a wireless powered untrusted
amplify-and-forward (AF) relay in the presence of an external jammer. We take
into account both friendly jamming (FJ) and Gaussian noise jamming (GNJ)
scenarios. Based on the time switching (TS) architecture at the relay, the data
transmission is done in three phases. In the first phase, both the
energy-starved nodes, the untrustworthy relay and the jammer, are charged by
non-information radio frequency (RF) signals from the sources. In the second
phase, the two sources send their information signals and concurrently, the
jammer transmits artificial noise to confuse the curious relay. Finally, the
third phase is dedicated to forward a scaled version of the received signal
from the relay to the sources. For the proposed secure transmission schemes, we
derive new closed-form lower-bound expressions for the ergodic secrecy sum rate
(ESSR) in the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime. We further analyze the
asymptotic ESSR to determine the key parameters; the high SNR slope and the
high SNR power offset of the jamming based scenarios. To highlight the
performance advantage of the proposed FJ, we also examine the scenario of
without jamming (WoJ). Finally, numerical examples and discussions are provided
to acquire some engineering insights, and to demonstrate the impacts of
different system parameters on the secrecy performance of the considered
communication scenarios. The numerical results illustrate that the proposed FJ
significantly outperforms the traditional one-way communication and the
Constellation rotation approach, as well as our proposed benchmarks, the
two-way WoJ and GNJ scenarios.Comment: 14 pages, 6 figures, Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Vehicular
