Techniques are provided for efficiently reestablishing connection between peer-to-peer devices. For example, there is provided a method for peer-to-peer (P2P) connection reestablishment by a mobile device. The method may involve caching at least one of a Radio Resource Control (RRC) context and a session management (SM) context for a previous P2P session with a peer mobile device. The method may further involve establishing a connection with the peer mobile device based at least in part on at least one connection context identifier (CC ID) associated with the previous P2P session. The method may further involve reestablishing a previous session state based on the at least one of the RRC context and the SM context.
