contents In this paper, we consider a full-duplex (FD) Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) system, in which the base station (BS) performs downlink and uplink communications with multiple users while simultaneously sensing multiple targets. In the scope of this work, we assume a narrowband and static scenario, aiming to focus on the beamforming and power allocation strategies. We propose a joint beamforming strategy for designing transmit and receive beamformer vectors at the BS. The optimization problem aims to maximize the communication sum-rate, which is critical for ensuring high-quality service to users, while also maintaining accurate sensing performance for detection tasks and adhering to maximum power constraints for efficient resource usage. The optimal receive beamformers are first derived using a closed-form Generalized Rayleigh Quotient (GRQ) solution, reducing the variables to be optimized. Then, the remaining problem is solved using floating-point Genetic Algorithms (GA). The numerical results show that the proposed GA-based solution demonstrates up to a 98% enhancement in sum-rate compared to a baseline half-duplex ISAC system and provides better performance than a benchmark algorithm from the literature. Additionally, it offers insights into sensing performance effects on beam patterns as well as communicationsensing trade-offs in multi-target scenarios.
