Method and configuration for transmitting data

A method for transmitting and receiving data, wherein adjacent cell monitoring is carried out, which comprises:

• assigning a first oscillator to a first receiver component of a communications terminal and assigning a second oscillator to a second receiver component of the communications terminal;
• transmitting radio signals in a first frequency range with a base station and temporarily establishing a link with the first receiver component;
• processing the radio signals of the base station assigned to the link at a given time with the first receiver component;
• and
• processing the radio signals of a base station of an adjacent cell, at least at certain times, with the second receiver component;
• at least sometimes, receiving the radio signals of the base station of the adjacent cell while receiving the radio signals of the base station assigned to the link;
• determining a reception quality of the radio signals of the base station of the adjacent cell in a second frequency range when performing the step of processing the radio signals of the base station of the adjacent cell;
• and
• switching the link over to the base station of the adjacent cell in response to the determined reception quality.
