However, the design and deployment of ISAC systems remain challenging due to dynamic wireless environments, sensing–communication trade-offs, and the increasing complexity of large-scale networks. Reinforcement learning (RL) and deep reinforcement learning (DRL) have recently attracted significant attention as data-driven approaches for addressing these challenges through model-free, adaptive, and real-time optimization. This survey first reviews the fundamentals of ISAC technology and then summarizes major RL and DRL algorithms relevant to ISAC design. It further provides a comprehensive overview of RL\u002FDRL methods for ISAC in 6 G networks. Existing approaches are categorized into value-based, policy-based, and hybrid methods, and are further classified according to representative ISAC scenarios, including reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted systems, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and satellite systems, vehicular networks, and other emerging 6 G applications. The survey highlights reported gains in spectral efficiency, sensing accuracy, adaptability, and robustness, while also identifying key limitations of current approaches. Finally, the survey outlines current challenges, future research directions, and key lessons learned.",[11,12,13,14,15,16],"Khan, Wali Ullah","Khalid, Waqas","Iqbal, Muhammad","Kwong, Chiew
