Accurate and efficient acquisition of wireless channel state information (CSI) is crucial to enhance the communication performance of wireless systems. However, with the continuous densification of wireless links, increased channel dimensions, and the use of higher-frequency bands, channel estimation in the sixth generation (6G) and beyond wireless networks faces new challenges, such as insufficient orthogonal pilot sequences, inadequate signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for channel training, and more sophisticated channel statistical distributions in complex environment. These challenges pose significant difficulties for classical channel estimation algorithms like least squares (LS) and maximum a posteriori (MAP). To address this problem, we propose a novel environment-aware channel estimation framework with location-specific prior channel distribution enabled by the new concept of channel knowledge map (CKM). To this end, we propose a new type of CKM called channel score function map (CSFM), which learns the channel probability density function (PDF) using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. To fully exploit the prior information in CSFM, we propose a plug-and-play (PnP) based algorithm to decouple the regularized MAP channel estimation problem, thereby reducing the complexity of the optimization process. Besides, we employ Tweedie's formula to establish a connection between the channel score function, defined as the logarithmic gradient of the channel PDF, and the channel denoiser. This allows the use of the high-precision, environment-aware channel denoiser from the CSFM to approximate the channel score function, thus enabling efficient processing of the decoupled channel statistical components. Simulation results show that the proposed CSFM-PnP based channel estimation technique significantly outperforms the conventional techniques in the aforementioned challenging scenarios.
