Narrative:
On ROBUC3 STAR into boston logan; ATC gave late descend via instruction; FMS failed to descend aircraft; we descended then in vertical speed mode to try and make provi intersection at 11;000 feet. We were crossing at 12;000 feet when ATC issued a turn and a lower altitude. Complicating the situation was a wake turbulence encounter and frequency saturation.we did our best under the circumstances. In the future I will manually descend when well inside the STAR and issued a late descend via clearance.
