Yes, but also retransmission that happens at the physical/link layer to mask lossy links from higher layer protocols, such as TCP.
IIRC the actual technological latency of a 4G link is just ~2 ms extra; the problem is that you have to share the link with many people, so if the network is overloaded you may get unstable latency. In this regard, anything that increases capacity would automatically help with latency as well.
