Methods and systems for using a measure of fueling rate in the air side control of an engine. By using a measure of the fueling rate, the air side control may, for example, anticipate the future air side needs of the engine, and adjust one or more air side parameters to meet the anticipated future air side needs of the engine. This may improve the responsiveness, performance and emissions of the engine.

A method for controlling an internal combustion engine having an air intake manifold, an exhaust gas manifold, one or more air-side actuators for adjusting one or more air side parameters of the engine, and one or more fuel injectors for injecting fuel into the engine, the method comprising the steps of: injecting fuel into the internal combustion engine using at least one of the one or more fuel injectors; providing one or more fuel signals related to the fuel injected into the engine; predicting at least one air-side actuator target setpoint based, at least in part, on the one or more fuel signals; and adjusting one or more of the air-side actuators to the at least one air-side actuator target setpoint. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein at least one of the fuel signals is related to the change in fuel rate that is injected into the engine, and the predicting step predicts at least one air-side actuator target setpoint based, at least in part, on the at least one fuel signals that is related to the change in fuel rate. 3. The method of claim 1 wherein one of the one or more air-side actuators includes an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve that receives exhaust gas from the exhaust gas manifold and provides an amount of exhaust gas to the air intake manifold, and wherein the predicting step predicts a EGR valve target setpoint based, at least in part, on the at least one fuel signals that is related to the change in fuel rate. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein one of the one or more air-side actuators includes a turbocharger fluidly coupled to the air intake manifold, and wherein the predicting step predicts a turbocharger target setpoint based, at least in part, on the at least one fuel signals that is related to the change in fuel rate. 5.
