contents Integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) allows networks to perform sensing alongside data transmission. While most ISAC studies focus on single-target, multi-user scenarios, multi-target sensing is scarcely researched. This letter examines the monostatic sensing performance of a multi-target massive MIMO system, aiming to minimize the sum of Cramér-Rao lower bounds (CRLBs) for target direction-of-arrival estimates while meeting user equipment (UE) rate requirements. We propose several precoding schemes, comparing sensing performance and complexity, and find that sensing-focused precoding with power allocation for communication achieves near-optimal performance with 20 times less complexity than joint precoding. Additionally, time-sharing between communication and sensing outperforms simple time division, highlighting the benefits of resource-sharing for ISAC.
