A method selects a communication status for a first mobile terminal. The first mobile terminal assumes a 'slave' status during a first time period and waits to see whether, by a communication request from another mobile terminal to the first mobile terminal, a connection is set up to the other mobile terminal. If a connection is set up, the first mobile terminal constantly assumes the 'slave' status and the other mobile terminal constantly assumes a &#x201c;master&#x201d; status. After the first time period without a communication request from another mobile terminal, the first mobile terminal switches from the &#x201c;slave&#x201d; status to the &#x201c;master&#x201d; status for a second time period and sends a number of communication requests to set up a connection to another mobile terminal and, if a connection is set up in this way, constantly assumes the &#x201c;master&#x201d; status and the other mobile terminal constantly assumes the &#x201c;slave&#x201d; status.
