Improved transient response times are obtained while maintaining low emissions with a low pressure EGR system through methods for quickly obtaining a desired oxygen concentration for charge-air to be used for combustion. Under a first method, fuel quantity in the main combustion event is controlled in the combustion process to produce exhaust around a relatively constant target exhaust oxygen concentration value. By keeping the exhaust oxygen concentration levels at a relatively constant value, lag time in waiting for low pressure EGR valve adjustments during transients may be avoided, and the system's air handling response to meet transients may be paced solely by adjusting the mass of air to be supplied (i.e. boost response). Under a second method, a multiple-stage combustion process is utilized, in which fuel feed is controlled in a small, preliminary HCCI-type combustion event in order to produce a target oxygen concentration of charge-air to be used for the second, main combustion event. Under a third method, exhaust rebreathing is used to produce a target oxygen concentration of charge-air to be used for combustion.

I claim: 1. A method of operating a turbocharged diesel engine system, comprising: recirculating exhaust gas from downstream of a turbine in an exhaust line in the engine system to upstream of a compressor in an intake line in the engine system, thereby creating a charge-air mixture in the intake line; taking into a combustion chamber of the engine a portion of the charge-air mixture for combustion; injecting a quantity of fuel into said combustion chamber in an amount selected to produce a target resulting exhaust oxygen concentration upon combustion; and selectively also recirculating a portion of the exhaust gas from upstream of the turbine in the exhaust line to downstream of the compressor in the intake line in an amount to produce a desired oxygen concentration for the charge-air mixture prior to being taken into the combustion chamber for combustion. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the target exhaust oxygen concentration is a relatively constant value from cycle to cycle. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the relatively constant value is a value between 2% and 6%. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising selectively adding ambient air to the charge-air mixture downstream of the compressor in the intake line in an amount to produce a desired oxygen concentration for the charge-air mixture prior to being taken into the combustion chamber for combustion. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising opening one or more exhaust valves to the combustion chamber after the beginning of the intake stroke and prior to combustion, to take in exhaust products into the combustion chamber and thereby produce a desired, reduced, overall oxygen concentration for the charge-air mixture in the combustion chamber for combustion. 6. The method of claim 1 wherein, in a single cycle, prior to injecting the said quantity of fuel for combustion, the method additionally comprises injecting a first, smaller, quantity of fuel into the combustion chamber for a first combustion event with the charge-air mixture, to produce a target reduced oxygen concentration for the charge-air mixture prior to a subsequent main combustion event. 7. The method of claim 6, further comprising opening one or more exhaust valves to the combustion chamber after the beginning of the intake stroke and prior to combustion, to take in exhaust products into the combustion chamber and thereby modifying the bulk temperature and overall oxygen concentration for the charge-air mixture to optimally phase the first, smaller quantity of fuel's combustion phasing. 8. A method of operating an internal combustion diesel engine, comprising: taking into a combustion chamber of the engine a charge-air mixture; selectively injecting a first quantity of fuel into the combustion chamber for a first combustion event with the charge-air mixture, in an amount selected to produce a target reduced oxygen concentration in the charge-air mixture; and subsequently injecting a second, main, quantity of fuel into the combustion chamber for combustion with the charge-air mixture. 9. The method of claim 8, further comprising recirculating exhaust gas from downstream of a turbine in an exhaust line in the engine system to upstream of a compressor in an intake line in the engine system, thereby creating said charge-air mixture in the intake line. 10. An internal combustion diesel engine system comprising a low pressure EGR system and a NOx aftertreatment device in an exhaust line thereof, wherein oxygen concentration of air to be used in combustion is maintained at a relatively constant value less than 20% from cycle to cycle, for at least medium and high loads, in order to lower engine-out NOx formation upstream of the NOx aftertreatment device. 11. The internal combustion diesel engine system of claim 10, wherein the oxygen concentration of air to be used in combustion is maintained at a relatively constant value below 1800. 12. The internal combustion diesel engine system of claim 10, wherein the oxygen concentration of air to be used in combustion is maintained at a relatively constant value below 17%. 13. The internal combustion diesel engine system of claim 10, wherein the oxygen concentration of air to be used in combustion is maintained at a relatively constant value below 16%. 14. The internal combustion diesel engine system of claim 10, wherein the oxygen concentration of air to be used in combustion is maintained at a relatively constant value which is between 10% and 15%. 15. A method of operating a turbocharged engine system, comprising: recirculating exhaust gas from downstream of a turbine in an exhaust line in the engine system to upstream of a compressor in an intake line in the engine system, thereby creating a charge-air mixture in the intake line; taking into a combustion chamber of the engine a portion of the charge-air mixture for combustion; injecting a quantity of fuel into said combustion chamber in an amount selected to produce upon combustion a target resulting exhaust oxygen concentration which is a relatively constant value from cycle to cycle. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the relatively constant value is a value between 2% and 6%. 17. The method of claim 15, further comprising: selectively also recirculating a portion of the exhaust gas from upstream of the turbine in the exhaust line to downstream of the compressor in the intake line in an amount to produce a desired oxygen concentration for the charge-air mixture prior to being taken into the combustion chamber for combustion. 18. The method of claim 15, farther comprising selectively adding ambient air to the charge-air mixture downstream of the compressor in the intake line in an amount to produce a desired oxygen concentration for the charge-air mixture prior to being taken into the combustion chamber for combustion. 19. The method of claim 15, further comprising opening one or more exhaust valves to the combustion chamber after the beginning of the intake stroke and prior to combustion, to take in exhaust products into the combustion chamber and thereby produce a desired, reduced, overall oxygen concentration for the charge-air mixture in the combustion chamber for combustion.
