A method and apparatus for providing service persistence support and corresponding mapping with the P2P group persistence behavior between a WSB host and a WSB client is described. The method includes receiving a request for a persistent P2P USB connection from the WSB host. The method includes creating a group with the WSB client. Further, the method includes configuring a service identifier associated with the persistent P2P USB connection. Furthermore, the method includes mapping the created persistent P2P group with the service identifier. The method includes storing the service identifier mapped with the created persistent P2P group and the persistent P2P USB connection. The method allows the WSB client to provide the persistent USB service to the WSB host.
