We introduce an information-theoretic framework to dynamically pair up different reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) with wireless users with goal of maximizing the fundamental network capacity. We focus on a double RIS-aided broadcast packet network with two users. We show using a dynamic RIS-user association and an opportunistic protocol, the network capacity could be significantly enhanced and superior to other benchmarks with static associations. The results include new outer-bounds on network capacity and their achievability. We discuss the optimal RIS-user association.
