Abstract
A radio communication system includes: a receiver that is configured to receive a first radio wave sent according to a remote keyless entry system and a second radio wave sent according to a tire pressure monitoring system; and a reception mode switching unit that sets a reception mode of the receiver to a first reception mode, in which the first radio wave is received, when an ignition switch of a vehicle is off, and sets the reception mode to a second reception mode, in which the second radio wave is received, when the ignition switch of the vehicle is on. If the reception mode switching unit receives a first request to set the reception mode to the first reception mode while the reception mode is set to the second reception mode, the reception mode switching unit sets the reception mode to the first reception mode.
