This paper proposes a novel framework for hybrid-field channel estimation in extremely large-scale reconfigurable intelligent surface (XL-RIS)-assisted communication systems, crucial for future 6G networks. The proposed method addresses challenges posed by high-dimensional cascaded channels and the coexistence of far-field and near-field propagation by decoupling sparse dictionary representation and recovery. It introduces a Dirichlet kernel-based off-grid dictionary compression (DK-ODC) scheme for sparse representation and a subspace-aware incremental variational Bayesian learning (SI-VBL) algorithm for dynamic channel estimation, aiming for a favorable tradeoff between accuracy, complexity, and storage.
