Crowd Associated Networks (CrANs) is the network in which we utilize the crowd to complete communication gap between the associates. CrANs is the abbreviation of “crowd associate network”. It consists of five main components which are dedicated agents, non-dedicated agents, control center sink, data storage, and garbage collector. For specific task, dedicated agents are installed into the network. These nodes are static in nature and transfer the information with the same sort of agents. Intermediate nodes are the nodes between source and destination are called crowd nodes. Communication gap is covered by crowd nodes. The nodes send the data from the one to the multiple nodes and copy of the information to the same node. It collects the data from one of the active node and sends the duplicate data packets to the other active nodes present in the zone.

We live in a third world country, and here, due to many reason, we lose the network. In that case, we need a network which can work in that condition. That is the CrANs network is proposed for emergencies and other situations when networks are not functional. It utilizes all other networks to transfer information. For communication, we will combine the CrANs with the MANETs, WANETs, FANETs, and Wi-Fi to transfer the data from one area to other. We will use the presence networks to make a crowd of detective and non-detective nodes for the transfer of data. The non-detective nodes of CrANs connect to the detective nodes of other networks.
