1. A method to estimate a count of indoor radio transmitters for a building, wherein the indoor radio transmitters are to be planned to build an indoor cellular network within the building, the method comprising:
obtaining locational information of the building in a database based on a query;
extracting features external to the building based on the locational information of the building, wherein the features external to the building capture characteristics about the building that are observable from outside of the building; and
estimating the count of the indoor radio transmitters for the building using the extracted features and a pre-trained model that has been trained using historical building dataset and corresponding numbers of indoor radio transmitters.
