Alan Chamberlain

Alan has worked on telecoms and healthcare inventions throughout his career. In the healthcare field, Alan’s experience relates to devices for monitoring and analysing the motion and health of a person, including fall detectors and blood pressure monitors, healthcare software applications, including the management of health-related data, and personal care devices such as hair clippers, toothbrushes and shavers.

In the telecoms field, Alan’s experience includes inventions underpinning the 2G and 3G standards, through to inventions with potential application to the upcoming 6G standards. Alan has drafted and prosecuted hundreds of patents in the telecoms field, with many of those patents becoming essential to the 3GPP standards. A particularly interesting part of Alan’s practice relates to evaluating whether certain third-party patents are standard essential patents (SEPs) to various international standards.

Specific areas of experience in the telecoms field include interworking between mobile networks and WiFi (including traffic steering and aggregation), different types of handover, device to device (D2D) communications, discontinuous reception (DRX), vehicle-to-everything (VTX) communications, use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) models for optimising network performance, and home and enterprise base stations (femtocells).
