contents Massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) is critical for boosting 6G wireless network capacity. Nevertheless, high dimensional Channel State Information (CSI) acquisition becomes the bottleneck of 6G massive MIMO system. Recently, Channel Digital Twin (CDT), which replicates physical entities in wireless channels, has been proposed, providing site-specific prior knowledge for CSI acquisition. However, external devices (e.g., cameras and GPS devices) cannot always be integrated into existing communication systems, nor are they universally available across all scenarios. Moreover, the trained CDT model cannot be directly applied in new environments, which lacks environmental generalizability. To this end, Path Evolution Model (PEM) is proposed as an alternative CDT to reflect physical path evolutions from consecutive channel measurements. Compared to existing CDTs, PEM demonstrates virtues of full endogeneity, self-sustainability and environmental generalizability. Firstly, PEM only requires existing channel measurements, which is free of other hardware devices and can be readily deployed. Secondly, self-sustaining maintenance of PEM can be achieved in dynamic channel by progressive updates. Thirdly, environmental generalizability can greatly reduce deployment costs in dynamic environments. To facilitate the implementation of PEM, an intelligent and light-weighted operation framework is firstly designed. Then, the environmental generalizability of PEM is rigorously analyzed. Next, efficient learning approaches are proposed to reduce the amount of training data practically. Extensive simulation results reveal that PEM can simultaneously achieve high-precision and low-overhead CSI acquisition, which can serve as a fundamental CDT for 6G wireless networks.
