Cognitive radio networks (CRN) are subjected to the challenge of demand in available resources, limited fair resource allocation between users in the heterogeneous CRN. The availability of minimal resources affects the channel allocation between Primary Users (PUs) and Secondary Users (SUs). In heterogeneous CRNs, efficient resources are available to SUs with fair resource allocation in a multi-hop environment. This paper proposed an efficient resource allocation in multi-hop CRN through Monte-Carlo Normal Form (MCNF). The proposed MCNF is involved in the optimization of the available resources through the estimation of the objective function. With Monte-Carlo estimation, MCNF computes the optimal resource availability within the CRN. Based on the Normal Form game theory resource availability of the network is computed and allocated between the users. The performance of the proposed MCNF is computed in terms of throughput, PDR, and running time. The proposed MCNF is comparatively examined with conventional game theory and the Monte-Carlo technique. The simulation analysis of the proposed MCNF expressed that running time is reduced with increased Packet delivery rate (PDR) and throughput.
