The policy estimation error theorem for strong symmetrical MARL was presented. Simulation results based on the admission control problem in wireless system were modeled by MARL, which testify the characteristics of policy estimation error for strong symmetrical MARL problems. It shows that using the MARL sub-problems with low computational complexity to estimate the original MARL problem with high computational complexity only brings small policy estimation error and deterioration of system performance. %U https://journal.bupt.edu.cn/EN/10.13190/j.jbupt.2018-121
