Well, based on responses from the Apple Dev Forums, the answer is NO. Multipeer Communications is not supported while operating in the background. For those with access, link here: Apple Dev Forum

Upon returning to the foreground, the framework automatically resumes advertising and browsing, but the developer must reestablish any closed sessions" Refer: Apple doc
