contents To meet the robust and high-speed communication requirements of the sixth-generation (6G) mobile communication system in complex scenarios, sensing- and artificial intelligence (AI)-based digital twin channel (DTC) techniques become a promising approach to reduce system overhead. In this paper, we propose an environment-specific channel subspace basis (ECB)-aided partial-to-whole channel state information (CSI) prediction method (ECB-P2WCP) for realizing DTC-enabled low-overhead channel prediction. Specifically, we introduce a wireless environment knowledge (WEK) construction method that extracts ECB from the digital twin environment via subspace estimation. This ECB characterizes the static statistical properties of the electromagnetic environment and serves as environment information prior to the prediction task. Then, we fuse ECB with real-time estimated local CSI to predict the entire spatial-frequency domain channel for both the present and future time instances. Hence, an ECB-based partial-to-whole CSI prediction network (ECB-P2WNet) is designed to achieve a robust channel prediction scheme in various complex scenarios. Simulation results indicate that incorporating ECB provides significant benefits under low signal-to-noise ratio and pilot ratio conditions, achieving a reduction of up to 50\% in pilot overhead. Additionally, the proposed method maintains robustness against multi-user interference, tolerating 3-meter localization errors with only a 0.5 dB normalized mean square error increase, and predicts CSI for the next channel coherent time within 1.3 milliseconds.
