contents Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) emerged as a viable computing allocation method that facilitates offloading tasks to edge servers for efficient processing. The integration of MEC with 5G, referred to as 5G-MEC, provides real-time processing and data-driven decision-making in close proximity to the user. The 5G-MEC has gained significant recognition in task offloading as an essential tool for applications that require low delay. Nevertheless, few studies consider the dropped task ratio metric. Disregarding this metric might possibly undermine system efficiency. In this paper, the dropped task ratio and delay has been minimized in a realistic 5G-MEC task offloading scenario implemented in NS3. We utilize Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) to optimize delay and dropped task ratio. We examined the effect of the number of tasks and users on the dropped task ratio and delay. Compared to two traditional offloading schemes, First Come First Serve (FCFS) and Shortest Task First (STF), our proposed method effectively works in 5G-MEC task offloading scenario. For MILP, the dropped task ratio and delay has been minimized by 20% and 2ms compared to GA.
